On Tuesday night, it was the Minnesota Wild at the Bell Centre, and it was another entertaining game with the Wild winning 3-1.
The Canadiens play an exciting up-and-down-the-ice brand of hockey. They get a lot of chances, and as Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said, Montreal is one of the best teams on the rush in the entire league.

Monahan has five points already this year on two goals and three assists. At centre, of course, is the captain who leads the club at a point-per-game pace. Nick Suzuki has three goals and four assists in seven games.
