The Montreal Canadiens added quite a few pieces in the off-season, and a lot of them have gone on to be important pieces of a surprising Canadiens team. Tomas Tatar, Max Domi and Jesperi Kotkaniemi have become driving forces, but Joel Armia has quietly become a stabilizing element in this lineup. The team becomes much more well rounded when Armia steps in.
Against Detroit, the One Man Armia was in top form in a game where the exhausted Canadiens grabbed two valuable points from the Red Wings.
