The Montreal Canadiens might face more pressure at home with their season on the line than they did in staving off elimination in Washington. With two days off before Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round series on Monday night, the high expectations of Canadiens’ fans were felt in the team’s dressing room. The Canadiens have already lost twice at home to the Capitals in this series, but they stayed alive with a road win in Game 5. Montreal will need to knock off the Presidents’ Trophy winners at the Bell Centre to force a deciding Game 7 back in Washington. The Capitals lead the series 3-2. Montreal is 6-13 at home in the playoffs since its current streak of sellouts began in 2003. Happiness in hockey-mad Montreal has been in short supply since the Canadiens’ last Stanley Cup parade was held in 1993. Though everyone wearing the home team’s red, white and blue was quite pleased midway through the first period of Game 3.

The Canadiens’ fans were flying high again when their team took a 2-1 lead in the second period of Game 4. Washington short-circuited the energy in the building with a short-handed goal for the second game in a row in the final seconds of the middle period. Alex Ovechkin scored the go-ahead goal in the third, sending the Capitals to a 6-3 win. Montreal’s home playoff losing streak stands at six. The Capitals practiced in Arlington, Va. for the second day in a row Sunday before they flew to Montreal. Washington is seeking a quick start that could take the revved-up fans out of the game. Capitals defenseman Tom Poti believes a strong start Monday would be a great sign.
