Four Days Off: A Big Gift for the Montreal Canadiens Ahead of the Playoffs
It applies to every team, but especially to the Habs.
The team really needed those four days off, to rest, recharge, and refuel, as a certain Tony Marinaro would say.
"One positive about the Habs starting their series on Monday is the four days of rest.
Of all the teams qualified for the playoffs, no team was more burnt out than the Canadiens looked down the stretch.
They were dynamite after the 4 Nations break, let's see what happens now."

Yes, this break could truly change everything for the Canadiens.

For now, the Capitals' other goalie (Logan Thompson) is still injured.
