When Patrik Laine arrived in Montreal, there was a huge wave of positivity surrounding the Canadiens. After all, when a scorer like him lands in town, it changes the game quite a bit. This was evident every time the main interested party touched the puck during training camp.

The Canadiens will have cap space, and there's a player who has recently shown interest in joining Montreal via free agency.

The Rangers are having a very disappointing season. And the Montreal Canadiens, meanwhile, were corrected the day before by the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 7-3 loss.
