Ivan Demidov debuts with Canadiens vs Blackhawks | Live Reaction & Analysis | April 14, 2025

He's here. Ivan Demidov is a Montreal Canadiens player, joining the young core of the Habs with Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, Kaiden Guhle, and more. He doesn't disappoint, assisting on a goal and then scoring one himself within the first as the Habs take on the Blackhawks. But unfortunatley, Demidov's debut doesn't come along with a playoff spot as the Habs fail to clinch once again, losing 3-4 in OT after a questionable shootout goal. Join Kay and Fern to talk about the debut of the Canadiens' biggest hope for the future and the disappointment of the night.
