The Montreal Canadiens faced a New Jersey Devils team missing top players Taylor Hall and Nico Hischier on Monday night. On Wednesday, the Habs will face the very best of what the Florida Panthers have to offer.
Led by newly named captain Aleksander Barkov, the Panthers’ top seven scorers from last season will be on the ice at the Bell Centre, including top defencemen Keith Yandle and Aaron Ekblad. Roberto Luongo also makes the trip back to his hometown, and while it’s unlikely he plays the full game, he should get into the action as well.
