For those who missed it, note that another Montreal Canadiens goal was indeed changed by the National Hockey League last night.

Initially announced as an official goal by Slafkovsky, the National Hockey League later changed its decision and announced that the Canadiens’ third goal last night in Chicago (the game-winner) was awarded to Kaiden Guhle!

The Montreal Canadiens’ third goal was taken away from Juraj Slafkovsky and awarded to Kaiden Guhle!

In this case, it seems much clearer to me than in the situation involving the goal that was taken away from Zack Bolduc.

“NHL has changed it to Kaiden Guhle.”

That said, we still want to highlight the incredible work by Slafkovsky on that goal, which directly allowed the Canadiens to secure the win!

The goal wasn’t credited to him, but it was largely thanks to his effort that the Habs were able to grab both points at the end of the game!

If we keep seeing this version of Juraj Slafkovsky this season-and if he continues to be such a strong, active presence in front of the opposing net-it will be a major boost for Martin St-Louis’ squad!

Once again, there were plenty of positives to take away from last night’s game in Chicago!
