The tendencies also paint of picture of an increase in gap issues when the Habs lost or were outscored at ES. Montreal defensemen were far more likely to attempt stretch passes in games where the team didn't have a successful result. Consequently, regular outlet passes were more likely in games the Habs won or outscored the opposition; pointing to a solid defense-to-forward gap.
Montreal defensemen also demonstrate a propensity to choose the simple and safe play in games where they experienced success, as the dump-out option was chosen more often when the Habs won or outscored the opposition.
