We’ve had all summer waiting for this one. Our season opener and home opener against a division rival who works very well as an actual rival because they’re another team in the bottom tier of the Atlantic trying to scrape their way up the standings.

Montreal won their home opener against the Leafs earlier this week, an event many are calling “good.”

Let’s get started.

First Period

Good energy from the hop for the Wings top line as the crowd gets into an early LGRW chant. Then on the second shift of the game, Olli Määttä gave up a scoring chance that Ville Husso stopped and Filip Hronek just missed on the other end as well.
