CHICAGO — If the Montreal Canadiens are to remain in contention for a postseason berth Custom Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys , they will have to rely on contributions throughout their lineup.Montreal will take a two-game winning streak into its game Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Canadiens have discovered a measure of success of late after they stumbled through a five-game skid and hope to continue on the right path as they continue a three-game road trip.The Canadiens are coming off a 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators in which they got a goal from each of their four lines and used two goals from Paul Byron to capture both ends of the home-and-home series against Ottawa.Article continues below ...Montreal coach Claude Julien hopes that his team’s style of play along with the balanced scoring attack that has sparked the Canadiens during a four-game stretch in which Montreal is 3-0-1 continues Sunday at the United Center.But now Julien is looking for his team to take another step forward and find a way to play with more of a killer instinct.“We’ve talked about how we want to finish,” Julien told reporters after Thursday’s victory, according to the team’s official website. “Especially when you have the lead, it’s easy to kind of sit back and get comfortable and weve done that at times this season.“That’s an area we’re trying to improve on. I think in the last little while we’ve been better in the third (period) and we’ve kind of controlled the period — even though we’ve had the lead.”Keeping the scoring coming from all four lines will certainly help Montreal’s case for extended success.“When you’ve got four lines that can play the way we’ve been lately, that can play and push the pace and play in their end, forecheck, it certainly makes it hard for the other team,” Byron told reporters after Thursday’s victory.Chicago enters Sunday’s game on a six-game losing streak www.starsshoponline.com , the most recent of which came in a 4-3 setback on the road against the Vegas Golden Knights. While the Blackhawks’ front office hoped that the firing of coach Joel Quenneville might spark change, Jeremy Colliton has failed to change Chicago’s fortunes.Chicago will take an NHL-worst minus-30 goal differential into Sunday’s game and has struggled throughout the season to score, which — coupled with the Blackhawks’ inability to contain opposing teams — has led to predictable results.Frustration has set in on a team that, until recently, had not been accustomed to losing and that is now finding difficulty finding ways to win.Of those fighting the frustration the hardest is goalie Corey Crawford, whose return from missing much of the season last year with a concussion was expected to make a difference, only to see the Blackhawks’ competitive issues continue.Chicago has lost its past three games by a total of four goals.“I don’t know how to deal with (losing),” Crawford told reporters Saturday Dallas Stars T-Shirts Womens , according to the Chicago Tribune. “Be pissed off? Let it go and keep playing? I really don’t know. It’s not a good position to be in. It’s definitely frustrating.“I don’t know. Maybe our older guys, our core group, maybe we all need to play better to get us out of this. Maybe that’s the answer.”Colliton has told his players to keep pushing for change.“No one’s happy,” Colliton told reporters Saturday. “So you can’t expect guys not to show some frustration at times. What we need to do as a team is get right back at it.” Ken Hitchcock has only been behind the Edmonton Oilers bench as head coach for a few days but he's already making sweeping changes, including calling up Jesse Puljujarvi from the AHL despite managements desire to get him more time and build his confidence.Just a couple of weeks ago, the Edmonton Oilers聽sent forwards Jesse Puljujarvi and Kailer Yamamoto down to Bakersfield Condors affiliate team in the AHL. It was there both struggling wingers would get a chance to play significant minutes and build their confidence before being called back up to the NHL where Edmonton is hoping they'll be key contributors in the future. Some fans in Edmonton were shocked it took as long as it did to send both down.advertisingIn Puljujarvi's case, he was playing well with four points in four games. via SportsnetNot long after the decision was made to move both to the AHL, head coach Todd McLellan was relieved of his coaching duties in Edmonton. The Oilers had lost six of seven games and dropped below .500 Dallas Stars Hoodies Womens ,聽making their way to the bottom-five of the NHL standings. They hired veteran coach Ken Hitchcock to replace him.Two games into Hitch's tenure as coach, the Oilers are 1-0-1 and he's clearly got some pull within the organization.聽One phone call to general manager Peter Chiarelli and Puljujarvi was back up with the NHL team.聽鈥淚 wanted responsibility for his development,鈥?Hitchcock said (via Oilers鈥?Jack Michaels). 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 just want to be watching him play in AHL.

Chiarelli is clearly on the hot seat in Edmonton and now making quick decisions in an attempt to turn this season around for the Oilers. If Hitchcock believes he can turn Puljujarvi's game around and he wants the Oilers to play a big and heavy style of hockey, Chiarelli seems ready to second-guess his own聽choices and give the reigns to the new coach.Puljujarvi's recall is one of a series of changes including the Oilers trading for offensive-defenseman Chris Wideman from the Ottawa Senators and moving Milan Lucic to a line that includes Kyle Brodziak and Zack Kassian, where the onus is not on scoring goals but leaning on the opposition.advertising
