This one’s going to be a dandy, folks.
The Montreal Canadiens travel to Boston for a matchup against one of the most hated rivals in franchise history. Both teams have been on fire recently, having each won three contests with one loss (that coming in regulation for Boston and a shootout loss for Montreal). They both stand atop the Atlantic Division with Montreal in first and Boston in second.
Both teams have their respective headlines offensively coming in to this game. Brad Marchand is currently leading all NHL forwards in points, with nine through four games played, and David Pastrnak following closely behind with seven.
