The Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils, two of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference, provided an excellent dose of hockey on Sunday night. Both teams are in their own stages of rebuilding, looking to see what works and what doesn’t, and the result was a very entertaining game.
And for Montreal, Jesse Ylonen stood out as a player who warrants a longer look with the big club.
Ylonen has been standing out with the Laval Rocket this season, in large part due to his dangerous shot on the power play. He got an opportunity to show it off against the Devils, and though the goal went to Josh Anderson, he showcased what he can do.
