But this may be a unique season where the top of the 2026 draft looks to be so good that teams that are going to be out of the playoff race give up early and sell. The Canadiens are looking to get back t...

Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs Top Six Minutes: Montreal rides overwhelming second period to needed win

First period Florian Xhekaj starts his first NHL shift with a loud hit on Troy Stecher in the offensive zone.
