In this episode of the podcast, we explore how the Montreal Canadiens will navigate the trade deadline and the rest of the season to remain competitive and advance the rebuild.

Excerpt from 'Rocket Hockey Report' of host Amy Johnson commenting on Arber Xhekaj's recent AHL performances.

We've entered a new calendar year and are just a few games away from the halfway point of the Montreal Canadiens' season. Injuries are once again taking their toll on the Canadiens roster and depth has quickly disappeared.

How will Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes navigate the trade deadline and the rest of the Montreal Canadiens' season, balancing a desire to remain competitive with the goals of advancing the rebuild?

This is the focus of this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.

In addition, we provide an injury update for Christian Dvorak. And we outline the week that was for Habs prospects at the World Junior Championships. We conclude the show with comments, texts, and emails from you, our loyal Canadiens Connection listeners.
