In Montreal’s opener, the Canadians dropped another Original Six matchup falling 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Oliver Kapanen and Zachary Bolduc scored for the Habs in the loss.

As their season gets underway, the Canadiens are trying to return to the playoffs for the second consecutive season – something they haven’t done since 2020 and 2021. Last year they won 40 games for the first time since 2018-2019, but lost in the first round of the postseason.

Meanwhile, the Red Wings are trying to end a nine-year playoff drought. They finished last season 39-35-8.
