The Montreal Canadiens have been road warriors so far in the young NHL season and will get their first opportunity to play in front of their hometown fans when the New York Rangers invade the Bell Centre Thursday evening. The Habs, who have collected four straight victories away from home, historically enjoy playing the Blueshirts, particularly in La Belle Province.
- Dating back to last year, the Rangers have won 12 out of their last 13 road games.
- Montreal can set a record for the best start in franchise history with a win.
- The UNDER is 14-4-6 in the last 24 meetings between the clubs.
The Rangers have dropped five in a row against Montreal and will be looking to pick up their first victory in Quebec since 2009. Netminder Henrik Lundqvist will be looking to reverse some demons against the bleu, blanc et rouge, as the Swede has a career 4-6-2 record with a bloated 3.81 GAA against Montreal.
On the flip side, Canadiens puck stopper Carey Price is 6-1-0 with a microscopic 0.43 GAA in the past three seasons against New York.
