Storylines: Tonight will mark the first time Zdeno Chara has played in Montreal since Quebec prosecutors declared he will not face charges for his hit on Max Pacioretty last year. No doubt Chara celebrated life as a free man in Montreal last night with a Coke or two… Montreal is coming off a 4-0 win over the Rangers, halting New York’s eight-game winning streak… Montreal has the league’s third-best penalty kill (89.3 percent)… Wes McCauley and Dean Morton will be the referees. Jonny Murray and Michel Cormier will be the linesmen.
