The schedule maker saved the meetings between the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins until the final few weeks of the 2017-18 season. The defending Stanley Cup champions roll into Montreal for the first and only time this season, and will host the Habs two times before the end of the month.
The Canadiens are entering tonight’s game on the back of a victory over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Another goal from Brendan Gallagher as he builds upon the career high he has already set, a highlight-reel goal from Nikita Scherbak, and two more from Artturi Lehkonen gave the Habs the offence they needed, while former Stars netminder Antti Niemi put in another great performance in goal to secure a 4-2 victory.
