TEAM COMPARISONS
The Canadiens are facing their first true adversity of the season. They’ve dropped four of their last five, managed just a single goal over their past two outings, and absorbed the news of extended absences for Alex Newhook and Kaiden Guhle. Fair to say, the early-season breeze has turned into a headwind. But if there’s one thing this group has shown, it’s that adversity tends to sharpen them, not sink them. Back them into a corner, and they usually claw their way out. And with the Bruins rolling into town, the Habs won’t need any extra fuel to bring their best.
“Not so fast,” say the Bruins. Just when it seemed like Boston was slipping into rebuild territory, they’ve surged right back into the thick of things. Backed by a seven-game winning streak — including back-to-back statement victories over the Maple Leafs — the B’s are suddenly neck-and-neck with the Canadiens and Ottawa Senators atop the Atlantic Division. On paper, this isn’t the most intimidating Bruins roster we’ve seen in recent years, but with numbers that mirror Montreal’s, they’ve made it clear they’re not backing down from the fight.
Yet another classic Habs-Bruins tilt awaits on Saturday. Enjoy, Habs fans!

PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR
Jared Davidson’s NHL debut appears imminent, and what better way to start your career than Habs-Bruins on a Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Should he draw in –– and at this time, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t –– the 23-year-old is one to watch for. The hard-nosed, gritty, yet quietly dynamic scorer has been a force in Laval, piling up 11 goals in just 13 games.
When talking about the Bruins, attention naturally gravitates toward David Pastrnak, but the spotlight is on Morgan Geekie tonight. The 27-year-old enters the night with 12 goals, ranking him tied for second in the League, after a breakout campaign in 2024-25 where the Manitoba product buried a career-high 33.
