The Montreal Canadiens trailed 3-0 in the third period on Sunday. Then Juraj Slafkovsky willed his team back into the hockey game.

Ian Boisvert breaks down the Habs strong comeback in Tampa. Despite dropping the extra point in the shootout, Slafkovsky's three-point night gave Habs fans a reason to believe; not only in this team as it is constructed, but in this rebuild as a whole. Despite the success of Slafkovsky and his line, the first line has struggled. Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield have not been a match with Zachary Bolduc, but with Kirby Dach on the mend, there may never be a better opportunity for Dach to carve out a role for himself with the Habs. And finally, Chris Johnston is predicting that the Habs may be interested in trading for Jonathan Marchessault out of Nashville before the trade deadline. Is there a fit for the home town scorer?
