The A Grades:

Tatar led the Habs offensively in November with 13 points in 13 games played. He had five goals and eight assists and also cut way back on his unnecessary penalties, limiting himself to just three minor penalties after leading the team in PIMs in October with a bunch of selfish hooks and trips.. LW. Montreal Canadiens. TOMAS TATAR. A

SHEA WEBER. A. Shea Weber had another terrific month for the Habs, scoring 6 goals and 6 assists for 12 points in 13 games. He also had a plus-minus of plus 6 and 6 penalty minutes. I’m starting to think the stat guy fell asleep with his finger on the number 6. And I know, I know, plus-minus isn’t the best stat, but when your team wins four of 13 games and you are their ice time leader and have a plus 6 it is noteworthy. It was a bad month that could have been even worse if not for their captain.. RD. Montreal Canadiens

Lehkonen has always been an exceptionally smart, defensive winger. He added some offence to that in November, but it was unfortunately overshadowed by the dark cloud that comes with a seven game losing streak. He had five goals and eight points in 13 games and was as good defensively as ever.. LW. Montreal Canadiens. ARTTURI LEHKONEN. A

A -. Early in the month, Danault looked awesome while going head to head with Patrice Bergeron and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Later in the month, he was dominated by a Bruins team that didn’t have Bergeron in the lineup and a Devils team that has mostly teenagers playing centre ice. He chipped in one goal and ten points as well. Overall, a solid month with a couple of speed bumps.. C. Montreal Canadiens. PHILLIP DANAULT
