They've just returned from a trying three-game road trip down South with no points in the standings to show for it and are currently mired in their longest regulation losing streak of 2018-19.
But for alternate captain Brendan Gallagher, the Habs' track record this season has given him hope that they can turn things around in short order.
"It's something we've taken a little bit of pride in, bouncing back from losses. You want to end it, and you want to end it quick. You don't get any easy games; no one is going to take it easy on you. Every game, every point seems to be so critical right now," outlined Gallagher, who scored in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers in Florida. "For us, it's about getting back to what's made us successful. Everyone needs to show up, do their job, contribute to the team's success, feel that accountability and responsibility towards the group. If we do that, we feel like we'll be alright."
