Many had this game circled on their calendars dating back to June. It’ll mark the return of Alex Galchenyuk after the Montreal Canadiens traded him to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Max Domi. The trade was initially looked at with cautiously optimistic with a side of pessimistic eyes, but it’s turned out to provide the Habs with a tremendous amount of value.
Domi is the team’s top centre, has surpassed his goal output from the last two seasons, and is one point away from tying last year’s total. He’s completely embraced the market and fanbase and is finally getting back to his scoring ways after a stretch of calming waters.
