Martin St. Louis' squad, marked by a fragile defense and a high number of goals against, needs to find a lasting formula to rack up wins if they want to be in the mix in Montreal.
These crisis periods can be quite common in the NHL; they test not only the players' talent but also coach Martin St. Louis' ability to adjust strategies.
He is focusing on key elements like defense and power play efficiency, while strengthening the game system to tighten up the team.
However, some people are suggesting tougher measures to shake up the team and break the losing streak.
Tony Marinaro proposes sending a strong message to the players by demoting a veteran like Josh Anderson to Laval.
The idea is to create a sense of urgency within the roster and remind players of the need to put in extra effort. This proposal aims to provoke a positive reaction from the players, enhancing the team's competitiveness.
The recent wins have brought some positivity to the team, but time will tell if this streak will be enough.
And you, do you think sending a veteran like Josh Anderson, who has three years left on his contract, to Laval would be a good idea to send a clear and lasting message?
Do you think Josh Anderson is off to a good start this season?
