303 - Number of games former captain Brian Gionta played for the Canadiens. The 39-year-old winger signed as a free agent by the Bruins following his participation in the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang. Gionta was a member of the Canadiens from 2009-10 to 2013-14, recording 173 points (97G, 76A), and helped the Canadiens reach the Eastern Conference finals in both 2010 and 2014.
2 - Brendan Gallagher opened the scoring for the Canadiens for a second straight game, although he was a little less quick this time around. Gallagher's wrister tricked Bruins backstop Anton Khudobin and made its way to the back of the net at 9:16 of the first, although he scored just 88 seconds into the game in Brooklyn the night before. The goal against the Bruins was the 25-year-old's 23rd marker of the season, leaving him one shy of his career high from 2014-15, and it extended Gallagher's points streak to three games.
