The Montreal Canadiens have, for the better part of a decade, enjoyed consistent success against the New York Rangers.
One must go back to 2007-08 to find the last season in which the Canadiens did not win the season series between the two teams. And with two wins this season, by a combined 8-1 score, the Tricolore already have this season's series locked up, too.
Tonight's game in particular, however, might be a little bit more difficult than the Habs are accustomed to.
With Montreal's injury list a mile long, and inclusive of several key contributors, the Habs have been powerless to maintain any momentum over their recent schedule.
