Impact Slafkovsky beat Jake Oettinger over the shoulder from sharp angle to put the final touches on a wild second period. The tally extended a goal streak to three games and point streak to four. Slafkovsky's move to the top line wasn't an immediate success -- he was held pointless in the first six games following the move -- but it eventually unlocked the 19-year-old's offense. The young Slovak forward has 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) over the last 22 contests.

Montreal Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky is learning to trust his shot early in his NHL career

Pots pair in win Slafkovsky picked up two goals in a 5-2 win over the Capitals on Tuesday.

Impact With the Capitals frantically mounting a comeback, Slafkovsky put the game away by lighting the lamp twice in the third period. After Alex Ovechkin closed the gap to make the game 3-1, Slafkovsky took a drop pass midway through the final frame from Jake Evans and wristed a laser over Darcy Kuemper's glove. With the Canadiens back on the power play, Slafkovsky received a pass from Mike Matheson from the point and one-timed a slap shot to essentially seal the win for his team. Slafkovsky finished the game with two PIM, three shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 17:15 TOI. The 2022 first overall draft pick is now on a modest three-game point streak with nine goals on the season to show for it.

He was productive while skating with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, but Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis tweaked the lines in the wake of a three-game losing, which included two losses to Ottawa and giving up nine goals to Boston. Slafkovsky joins a line that includes Sean Monahan, the Canadiens' hottest player, who has 10 points over the last six games.

The 19-year-old does not look out of place on Montreal's top line and power-play unit. His 11 points over the last 17 games is a hopeful sign that a measured development process has worked.

Impact Slafkovsky hounded Esa Lindell behind the goal line and with the help of a pinching Jordan Harris won a puck battle to set up Nick Suzuki for the Canadiens' first goal. It was the second straight game with an assist for Slafkovsky, who may have turned a corner during Montreal's extended holiday road trip.

About Last Night: Juraj Slafkovsky enters holiday break on points streak Had his second consecutive two-point game in a 5-2 win for the Canadiens over the Blackhawks.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • MONTREALGAZETTE.COM

Collects two points Friday Slafkovsky had a goal and an assist in Montreal's 5-2 win over Chicago on Friday.

Impact Slafkovsky earned his second straight multi-point game, bringing him up to four goals and 12 points in 33 contests this season. The 19-year-old sophomore has tremendous potential, so his current hot streak is a mere taste of what the future might have him store for him. As far as the 2023-24 campaign is concerned, though, Slafkovsky is likely to be an inconsistent offensive contributor and isn't a sure bet to even reach the 30-point mark.

The Canadiens are being patient with Slafkovsky, who has just eight points in 30 games but is making plays along the boards and in puck battles that don't always show up on the scoresheet.
