MONTREAL -- Jeff Petry said that he has "nervous excitement" for Monday's game.
It'll be Petry's first game back at Montreal's Bell Centre since he was acquired by the Penguins in the deal that sent Mike Matheson to the Canadiens, and he's happy that it's the Penguins' first trip of the season.
"Coming back here so early in the year, it's nice to play that one early and get those emotions out," Petry said after the Penguins' morning skate at the Bell Centre.
Petry spent seven and a half seasons in Montreal after being traded there from Edmonton during the 2014-15 season, and he said he just remembers his time here as something that was "really beneficial" for him.
