MONTREAL — After opening their season in style with an impressive six-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens looked just as comfortable on home ice Thursday night.

Brendan Gallagher, Shea Weber, Josh Anderson and Tyler Toffoli scored as the Canadiens rolled to a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames in their home opener at Bell Centre.

"Everything is just clicking pretty good," said Montreal forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi. "It's the feeling. Everything is just feeling right at the moment."

Kotkaniemi and Jonathan Drouin had two assists apiece as the Canadiens (5-0-2) remained unbeaten in regulation time this season.
