Montreal comes into this game having won two games in a row, with at least one point in nine of its last 10. That stretch includes a 3-2 win over Florida back on Dec. 30. Center Nick Suzuki was the hero for the Habs that night, scoring a game-tying goal with under two minutes to go in regulation, then netting the game-winner in overtime. That was the first meeting between these teams this season.

As the Habs go for their third win in a row they do so with short rest. This is the second game of a back-to-back, after Montreal beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 at home on Wednesday night.

Florida is trying to steady itself a bit, and is 2-3-1 coming out of the holiday break. This is the second game of a six-game road trip for the Panthers. They started on Tuesday, with a 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
