ABOUT THE HABS
Tonight’s game is the conclusion of a short two-game road trip for the Canadiens. It will be the final time the team is out of comforts of the Eastern time zone this season unless it reaches the Stanley Cup final.
Montreal lost 3-2 in Nashville on Tuesday night, stopping a three-game winning streak. Nashville’s Filip Forsberg scored the winner on a power play in overtime as Montreal gave up a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes, now 31-2-2 in that situation this season.
The Habs, 46-20-8, reached 100 points for the season with their overtime loss on Tuesday and are still gunning for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and overall in the NHL. They are the first team to reach 100 this season. Montreal won the first meeting with the Jets this season, a 3-0 home-ice win on Remembrance Day.
LW Max Pacioretty is Montreal’s top scorer this season with 35-29-64. He also leads hims team with an impressive nine game-winning goals.
The Habs, who have run roughshod over Eastern opponents this season, are 13-10-4 vs. the west and 8-4-1 vs. the Central.
