The Montreal Canadiens preseason is well underway and they are taking part in their second exhibition game tonight.
Their first preseason contest was a lifeless effort against the Toronto Maple Leafs that resulted in a 4-1 loss in Toronto. The Canadiens then had their annual Red vs White games in front of a lively crowd of 7,500 at the Bell Centre.
The Habs are taking on the Maple Leafs tonight in a rematch at the Bell Centre and in just the first period alone they showed more promise than they did on Saturday night.
The Canadiens had four power plays to work with in the opening period with the new cross checking clampdown working in their advantage.
