John Davidson appeared on a podcast on Wednesday and had some things to say about his team. He appeared on 100% Hockey with Millard and Shannon, which you can listen to here. As always, he's an excellent interviewee.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Patrik Laine’s fiancee Jordan Leigh posted on Instagram about a young fan sharing a special drawing of Patrik.

The Montreal Canadiens are currently playing some very strong hockey. They have earned points in 10 of their last 12 games. Looking at this stretch, it is striking to see that the two regular-season losses were against teams that were at the bottom of the standings at the time: the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Chicago Blackhawks.

Habs forward Patrik Laine scored his 400th NHL career points in the Montreal Canadiens' 5-3 win over the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday. Laine reached the milestone in his 495th game.

When the Canadiens acquired Patrik Laine, it was known that this would help the team in power plays. The player is recognized as a powerplay specialist since his debut in the NHL because he possesses a high-quality shot.

Inexplicable! Improbable! Disconcerting! What the Canadiens – who were languishing in the basement – are currently accomplishing could not have been foreseen. Going from the worst team in the league on November 25 (32nd in the standings) to the best team in the league for the past month is something.

The Capitals are the only NHL team to rank in the top five of the League in goals from both high-danger areas (76; tied for third) and midrange areas (51; second) this season. Ovechkin has scored six high-danger goals (74th percentile).
