- Max Pacioretty hit the 30 goal mark for the fourth straight season. He’s only the fifth Montreal Canadiens’ player to record the feat in four consecutive years. This puts the captain in elite company. [Arpon Basu]
Players aside from Pacioretty with a shot at 4 straight 30-goal seasons:
Ovechkin: 27 this season
Seguin: 22
Benn: 21
Pavelski: 20
Perry: 11— u0410rpon Basu (@ArponBasu) February 28, 2017
- Hiring Claude Julien was a coup for Marc Bergevin, and it’s not just because he was the best coach available, language is also an important factor for the Canadiens.
