"Florida is coming off a rousing 5-3 comeback win over the Washington Capitals. Down 3-2 in the third, the Panthers got goals from Brad Marchand, Aaron Ekblad and Sam Reinhart to maintain possession of the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Reinhart (2G/1A), Marchand (1G/1A), Ekblad (1G/1A), Anton Lundell (1G/1A) and Seth Jones (2A) produced multi-point games and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 22 of 25 shots to post his 446th career win."
"The rested Canadiens enter tonight's tilt on a five-game (3-0-2) unbeaten streak and in third place in the Atlantic Division. Montreal, who are in the midst of a seven-game road trip, earned a point in its last outing by rallying in the third to tie the Tampa Bay Lightning before falling 5-4 in a shootout on Sunday. Juraj Slafkovsky scored twice and set up Ivan Deimdov's goal"
