Canadiens Team Report
(Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:17:46 PST)
The Canadiens are hoping that some home cooking will help them turn things around in December. They are at the Bell Centre for 10 of their 14 games in December, beginning with a Tuesday night date against the Atlanta Thrashers.
The Canadiens have been struggling of late. A 3-2 home win over Buffalo Saturday night gave them two wins in their last three games, but they have lost eight of their last 13 games since starting the season with an 8-1-1 record.
Coach Guy Carbonneau is becoming frustrated with some of his star players, beginning with Alex Kovalev, who has gone 13 games without a goal. That's his longest drought since December 2004.
In the latest attempt to get Kovalev going, Carbonneau put him on a line with center Robert Lang.
