Canadiens Chase More Puck Balance In Game 4

The Canadiens are looking for a cleaner, more balanced game with the puck as the Eastern Final tightens up. That usually means the margin for error is shrinking, and every breakout, pinching defenseman, and neutral-zone turnover starts carrying extra baggage. Montreal knows these series can turn on one sloppy shift, and Game 4 has the feel of a stress test for its puck management. The kind of detail work that disappears in October tends to decide everything in late May.
