It’ll be a special night for fellow forward Josh Anderson, who is expected to suit up for his 500th career NHL game. Through his first 499, the 6-foot-3, 224-pound winger has 215 points (129G, 86A), 100 of which have come with the Canadiens. Anderson was drafted in the fourth round (95th overall) in 2012 by Columbus, and was acquired by Montreal in the trade that sent Max Domi to the Blue Jackets in 2020.
4. The Sens have been on a bit of a run of their own, winning three of their last five games – including a 6-2 victory over the Habs on Thursday. In their last outing, on Sunday, they beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 thanks in part to Tim Stützle’s two-goal night. Stützle currently leads Ottawa with 43 points (10G, 33A) this season, followed by Claude Giroux and Brady Tkachuk (39 and 37 points, respectively).
Ottawa is currently at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings, a full 10 points behind Montreal, but the Senators hold four games in hand.
5. Tuesday’s game is Hockey Talks Night at the Bell Centre, and the organization will be taking the opportunity to highlight issues and resources related to mental health. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET, and you can tune in on TSN2, TSN5, or RDS on television, or listen in on TSN 690 or 98,5 fm on the radio. For tickets to the game, click here.
