Zachary Bolduc: no shots in his last four games

It’s a statistic that speaks volumes about Bolduc’s current game, and shows just how unconfident the Québécois is.

And what’s even more striking is that, aside from the game against the Devils in New Jersey, Bolduc is enjoying a respectable amount of ice time, enough to allow him to generate offense.

So there’s clearly cause for concern in his case, especially this week, given how bad things are for the Habs.

When things were going well, it wasn’t worth talking about, but now the Habs really need the Québécois to wake up.

Clearly, it’s not ideal for Bolduc to play a supporting role alongside Kirby Dach and Brendan Gallagher, who’ s really coming into his own this season.

But now, with Alex Newhook’s unfortunate long-term injury, a door to the top-6 is opening, and that could greatly help Bolduc.

Even if he doesn’t deserve a promotion, it’s an opportunity the Québécois must seize.

The Habs’ #76 really needs this promotion and a chance to shine, because right now, it’s really hard for him.

Anyway, let’s see who Bolduc plays with tonight, but chances are he’ll play on the wing of Oliver Kapanen and Ivan Demidov.

Overtime

– With good reason.

– Not to be missed.

– To watch today.

– Interesting stuff.
