EDGE Analysis

Anderson's first NHL hat trick helped the Canadiens overcome a 4-0 deficit, but Winnipeg kept coming and snapped Montreal's five-game win streak. The winger has found his scoring touch of late, posting six goals on 11 shots over the last five contests. He's skating on the Habs' top line, which also features Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, which have been hot under interim head coach Martin St. Louis. Anderson leads the team with 15 goals, and Tuesday's power-play tally was his first of the season.
