The Carolina Hurricanes come out of the Christmas break and hit the ground running with three games in four days, beginning with their first meeting of the season with the Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens entered the break in the midst of a season-long seven game road trip, and will play the first of a back-to-back in Raleigh before heading to Tampa to continue the trip against the Lightning.
The Canadiens currently have the Montreal media collectively in a frenzy, as they often do, because of their lackluster play to begin the season.
