Montreal Canadiens Notes:

The Canadiens have the second-youngest team in the NHL and three first-year rookies. On Wednesday night, Montreal began their season with a 1-0 shutout over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Cole Caufield scored the lone goal.

Boston Bruins Notes:

The Bruins lost their opener 6-4 to Florida and lacked cohesion with new players throughout the lineup. The Panthers have been a tough matchup for Boston for over two years. Boston plays their home opener Thursday and holds a 364–282–103–12 over the Canadiens all-time in the regular season. Defenseman Mason Lohrei is scratched after a -3 effort in the opener.
