Montreal is back at home after another discouraging midweek loss, hoping to regain their scoring touch, which has been missing for the past few games.
As 19 of their 22 games this year have ended in a shutout win, defeat, or draw, they are now on their longest goalless streak of the season (four games), and a zero is frequently displayed next to either their score or that of their opponents.
The Crown has struggled mightily of late to maintain leads, losing six points in three of their last four games after leading in the second half.
Even though Charlotte enters this game winless in four straight away games, three road victories are still a respectable accomplishment for them and matches their highest total in a regular season.
Since their defence has been their Achilles' heel throughout 2023, surrendering more goals than any other team at this point in the season (38), Lattanzio has struggled to develop any chemistry among his backline.
