He was a big part of the reason the Canadiens got the 3-1 lead in Detroit they inevitably blew to the Red Wings on Tuesday. It was his backcheck early in the game, stripping Andreas Athanasiou of the puck, which helped get Nate Thompson the first goal.
And then, on Saturday, he was in the middle of all the action — earning an assist on Domi’s first goal, making the play to create havoc in Ottawa’s end before goaltender Craig Anderson flipped the puck onto Domi’s stick for his second goal, and burying a pass from Ilya Kovalchuk for the all-important and backbreaking third goal of the game.But he doesn’t care about any of that, and that’s part of the reason he’s such a key piece of this team.
We’d be beyond shocked if it got the Canadiens where they’d like to go — they’re still far out of the playoff picture with 18 games remaining — but there’s little doubt he’ll help their chances more than he’ll hurt them.

Canadiens recall Karl Alzner from AHL Laval on emergency basis - Sportsnet.caAlzner joined the Canadiens in Ottawa, where Montreal will face the Senators on Saturday. He hasn't played an NHL game since Jan. 10, 2019. Should have been in NHL. He’s not a point producer! Mlt hasn’t a great defensive core but on the right team could have chipped in. Glad to see back. Shit I bet Habs fans forgot about him and his contract. Although, I'll give him credit. He did something Bogosian didn't want to do: Stayed humble, and took his demotion like a man.
