Over the last two games, two tough Canadiens wins on the road, Mike Matheson encapsulated why the Canadiens wanted to keep him around for the next five years: www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...
Mike Matheson showed in 2 games why the Canadiens want him for 5 more years
Matheson's adaptability and team-first attitude make him valuable to the Canadiens, and he demonstrated both in two games this week.

If this game is a sign of things to come for Montembeault, it’ll be huge for both him and the Canadiens👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...
Canadiens hope Montembeault's strong performance in win a sign of things to come
A much-needed win in Vegas should give Canadiens goalie Samuel Montembeault some of the confidence he needs, especially after it bottomed out after his last start.

One of the best performances of the season for the Canadiens. They’re 6 games over NHL 500 and in a playoff spot after a win in Vegas.

It’s been two years since Juraj Slafkovský was first placed on a line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. The circumstances then are remarkably similar to the ones now for Zack Bolduc.
