The Canadiens have scored six goals in each of their last three games and the question is whether they have anything left for Saturday night's home game against the Capitals.
The Canadiens are 0-2 against Washington this season and they have managed to score only one goal. Former Canadien Jose Theodore beat Montreal 3-0 in Washington on Nov. 28 and Simeon Varlamov made 32 saves in his NHL debut as Washington posted a 2-1 win at the Bell Centre on Dec. 13.
