Everything you need to know about Montreal at Avalanche

Karl B DeBlaker, The Associated PressMONTREAL AT COLORADO, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, ALT, 950 AM

Spotlight: Victor Mete. The Canadiens’ rookie defenseman, 19, is still looking for his first career NHL goal, but he’s established himself as one of the best late-round draft picks of the 2016 class. Only rookie forward Jesper Bratt of the New Jersey Devils has played more NHL games (54) than Mete (40). Mete was selected in the fourth round (No. 100 overall) and Bratt went in the sixth round (No. 162). Mete, 5-foot-9 and 184 pounds, has a lot in common with Avalanche rookie Sam Girard, 19, another undersized defenseman (5-10, 162) who was selected in the second round (No. 47) of the 2016 draft.
