Breaking: Habs announce great news this morning!
KeyStone Press

The Montreal Canadiens Toronto Maple Leafs rivalry is finally relevant again, with the Leafs being a competitive team for the first time in years.

The Habs are teetering on the edge of falling out of the playoff team category, but for now, we can finally be excited about the rivalry. And nothing beats a Saturday night matchup in Montreal between the two Original Six clubs.

Friday morning, it was feared that the team's best two forwards in Max Pacioretty and Jonathan Drouin would miss tonight's tilt with the flu. Jordie Benn was also a possibility to miss the game for the same reason. Benn has finally entered a groove - one we saw him exhibit when first acquired by the Canadiens last season. 


The absence of those 3 players would've spelled doom for Montreal tonight, with the Leafs riding a hot streak without their best player in Auston Matthews. And to make things even scarier, Matthews is expected to return to the Leafs' lineup tonight.

It's going to be a wild one in the Bell Center tonight!
