In a big matchup between the top goaltenders in the league the biggest player to watch for Columbus Blue Jackets fans is Alex Galchenyuk. The 23-year-old forward has been the subject of trade rumors for months and Montreal’s place in the standings isn’t calming the chatter.
The Canadiens have the third worst record in the east all while playing the second most games in the conference. The outlook is certainly troubling for the Habs. Making the playoffs this year is almost out of the question at this stage in the season.
Galchenyuk has not had the career many expected in Montreal but has shown flashes of brilliance.
