After yesterday's win over the Leafs, the Canadiens return to the Bell Center tonight.
For the occasion, the St. Louis Blues will visit Montreal. The game will be interesting to watch for several reasons… and we'll have to talk about them.
After all, it may be special for some players.
First of all, we will most likely see a fight between Zachary Bolduc and Logan Mayu. All signs point to the latter's return to the Bell Center… and both young players appear ready to face their former teams.
I expect them to play well. At the very least, I would like Bolduc to hold a knife in his teeth tonight…
Guys, take a walk with me… what if Zachary Bolduc's first home goal for the Canadiens was tonight… against the St. Louis Blues… his former team…

Blues general manager Doug Armstrong will be keeping an eye on Noah Dobson and Nick Suzuki tonight. Both guys have a chance to make Team Canada at the next Olympics, and Armstrong is one of the club's leaders.
A big event awaits them too.
While Bolduc and Maillot face off, the Canadiens and Blues are trying to realize their potential.

But that's not all.
The Blues' name has often been associated with the Habs' name in recent months. The Jordan Kairu case has been the talk of the town…and we recently heard rumors about Jordan Binnington in Montreal.
Kira will not play because he injured himself in Ottawa yesterday. But Binnington will be in front of goal for the Blues, and at this level I have a feeling Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes might be watching him…
And let's not forget that Cole Caufield, who has been on fire lately, will be looking for a point in his eleventh game in a row.
So there are several storylines leading up to tonight's game between the Canadiens and Blues. It's interesting for a Sunday game (we're certainly not used to it) and it adds a bit of spice to the game.
I can't wait for tonight.
After a while
– Hehehe.

“I like the way he sees things.”
Alexandre Texier yesterday on playing on the Habs' second line with Oliver Kapanen and Ivan Demidov:
“Playing with these two is fun. I have an opportunity here, I have to do my job on this line if I want to continue playing. I just work. I guess I don't have Demidov's talent… pic.twitter.com/8lvp1mRwoP
