What could decide Mammoth vs Canadiens?

The Mammoth have the stronger power play, but their penalty kill has struggled, leaving special teams in play at both ends.

Can the Canadiens penalty kill stop the Mammoth power play?

The Mammoth convert 34.8% of their power plays, and Nick Schmaltz has scored five of his team-leading seven goals with the man advantage. The Canadiens’ penalty kill has stopped 83.7% of its chances.

Penalties could give the Canadiens an opening, too. The Mammoth made seven trips to the penalty box in their 3-1 loss to the Wild, a game with 52 penalty minutes. The Canadiens’ power play converts 11.4% of its chances against a Mammoth penalty kill at 67.4%.

Can the Mammoth test Fowler if he starts?

Through Oct. 27, Fowler had allowed one goal or fewer in each of his previous three starts. He made 46 saves against the Blues on Oct. 27, when the Canadiens were outshot 24-3 in the third period. The Canadiens allow 28.2 shots per game on average.

The Mammoth managed nine shots in the first two periods of their loss to the Wild before firing 18 shots in the third. If Fowler starts, a similar slow start would leave them less time to test him. A Dobes start offers a different outlook: His save percentage through five appearances is .847, compared with Fowler’s .942.

Can the Canadiens score enough without Suzuki?

The Canadiens won their first three games without Suzuki, scoring eight goals across those wins, below their season rate of 3.17 goals per game. If Suzuki remains out, six-goal leader Cole Caufield faces a Mammoth team that has allowed 3.31 goals per game.
