The last time the Habs beat the Kings, Tomas Tatar was the team’s leading scorer

Tomorrow night the Habs play the Kings at the Bell Center. This is a chance for the Habs to end a long losing streak against California.

How long, you ask? Six years. And yes, the last time the Habs beat the Kings, Shea Weber scored two goals and Carey Price scored in a 302 win over the Bell Center.

Here are seven events that happened around this time.

  • Covid-19 has not yet arrived in Quebec. The pandemic hit Quebec in March 2020.
  • Tomas Tatar became the Habs' leading scorer. He finished the season with 61 points (22 goals, 39 assists).
  • Phillip Danault was the team's first center. He scored 47 points that season.
  • Victor Mete, Cale Fleury and Brett Kulak were part of the team's defensive unit.
  • Nick Suzuki was a rookie and started the season with Nate Thompson on the team's fourth line.
  • The St. Louis Blues were defending Stanley Cup champions.

Let's just say the Habs need to get one win over the Kings. It's amazing how things have changed six years later, and for the better.

The rebuild was necessary, and it allowed Nick Suzuki to surround himself with a talented team. And the work is not finished yet. Kent Hughes still has a lot of work to do to assemble a promising team.

One thing is for sure: the 2025-26 team has a much more exciting future than the 2019-20 team, without taking anything away from players like Price and Weber.

After a while

– They also want the center.

– You don’t dream, the Rangers won at home.

– The Islanders play good hockey.
