Montreal is coming off an impressive 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night, closing out their homestand with a solid performance in front of the Bell Centre faithful.
Ben Chiarot, Brendan Gallagher, Nick Suzuki and Jake Evans all scored for the Canadiens, while goaltender Jake Allen turned aside 24 of 26 shots to outduel his counterpart, Jacob Markstrom.
Suzuki delivered another double-digit performance, upping his impressive haul over the last five games to nine points (4 goals, 5 assists).
The 22-year-old center leads Montreal in scoring with 14 points (4 goals, 10 assists), five points clear of veteran winger Tyler Toffoli.

Jonathan Drouin will miss his fifth straight game after being struck by a puck in the head when the Canadiens and Red Wings clashed on November 2 at the Bell Centre.
Allen will make his sixth consecutive start.
Head coach Dominique Ducharme has every reason to be pleased with his club's showing versus Detroit so far this season.
The Canadiens won the first meeting 6-1 in Montreal, before posting a 3-0 shutout just 10 days later on home soil again.

The Red Wings, meanwhile, saw their three-game winning streak snapped by the Capitals on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.
Former Canadiens draft pick Zachary Fucale registered a 21-save shutout in his NHL debut for Washington, leading the Capitals to a 2-0 victory.
Left-winger Tyler Bertuzzi continues to lead Detroit in scoring with 15 points (9 goals, 6 assists), but this will be his first encounter with the Canadiens this season because he isn't vaccinated against COVID-19 - which means he cannot play in Canada.
Left-winger Lucas Raymond (14 points) and defenseman Moritz Seider (11 points) are also players to watch.
They rank first and second in scoring among NHL rookies, respectively.
