Las Vegas–Today the Vegas Golden Knights conclude their 6 game road trip with a stop at Centre Bell (Bell Centre) to take on the Montréal Canadiéns for the first time in franchise history.

The Canadiéns, are arguably the best original six franchise in the National Hockey League since it’s founding 100 years ago. This NHL flagship franchise over the years has won a league-high 24 Stanley Cup Championships with their most recent win in the 1992-1993 season against Wayne Gretzky‘s Los Angeles Kings.

Over the years the Canadiéns have retired hockey’s elite players in their history with 17 players who have donned the Habs sweater during the course of their NHL careers.

For the Canadiéns, backup goaltender Charlie Lindgren is scheduled to make his second start between the pipes for Montréal. Lindgren recorded his 1st ever NHL shutout win over the Blackhawks on Sunday in a 38 save percentage performance.

Last night the Vegas Golden Knights participated in their first ever shootout in franchise history where the Toronto Maple Leafs bested them in the skills competition with a lone goal that came from Mitch Marner that resulted in a 4-3 loss.

What was a positive in the 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs, was that the Golden Knights kept them off the scoresheet in the 3rd period. On this Eastern Conference road swing, they have been outscored in that period 10-3.
