In a season when there isn't much to cheer about regarding the NHL team, attention has shifted to watching the young players in the Montreal Canadiens organization.
That means watching the tenacity of Charles Hudon in puck battles, seeing Nikita Scherbak hit the highlight reel on his second NHL goal, and marvelling at the skating ability of Victor Mete.
The defensive play has been discouraging for Canadiens fans this season, but after the Habs targeted defencemen in the 2017 entry draft, there is hope for the future of the blue line.
