Players To Watch:
Montreal Canadiens
Lane Huston has impressed early this season with 13 points in 26 games. Hutson is currently starting up a point streak of two games, could he continue his hot hand?
Boston Bruins
David Pastrnak is putting up plenty of points this season, but is struggling to find the back of the net himself. Pastrnak has 2 goals in his last 10 games and has started to take a fair share of criticism for his lack of goal-scoring. With the Canadiens not being defensively stout, Pastrnak needs to take advantage of his opportunities for shots on net.
