CH Weekly: March 20 to 26

MONTREAL - Rivalries, theme nights, Habs game, and matchups with playoffs implications for the Laval Rocket are on the docket this week.

SHOP: New Era caps designed by Anderson, Suzuki and Caufield
Here are all the ways for fans to connect with the team this week.
HABS BY THE DOZEN
The Habs are down to their final 12 games of the season, three of which will be played this week.
Join us for the Goal is Green Night presented by National Bank on Tuesday when the Canadiens and Lightning meet at the Bell Centre to complete the tail end of their home-and-home series. Montreal will be looking for revenge from Saturday's contest, when they fell 5-3 to the Bolts. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET.
TICKETS: Lightning @ Canadiens
TD Garden is the scene for Thursday night's tilt between Montreal and Boston at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Canadiens and Bruins will renew their storied rivalry for a second time this season. Round one at the Bell Centre, a 4-2 Bruins win that came down to the wire in late January, did not disappoint and we'd be hard pressed to believe that round two will either.
Following a quick trip to Massachusetts, the Canadiens will return home to face the Blue Jackets on Saturday night. Columbus will be coming into Montreal for the first time in the 2022-23 campaign, with the season series up for grabs. The two sides split their previous meetings at Nationwide Arena earlier this year.
TICKETS: Blue Jackets @ Canadiens
The Canadiens will be holding the second edition of their Indigenous Celebration Night in conjunction with Saturday's game.
Remember, Saturdays at the Bell Centre are for the fans! Enjoy our FANatic Saturdays programming featuring DJ Kleancut presented by Monster Energy. The full pregame set will be streamed on
our official Twitch channel
with one prize to be given away. Be active and positive in the chat and the prize could be yours.
ENJOY A 5@6
Don't forget: "5 à 6s'' are back for all home games, so arrive early! M2 Marché Montréal and VIP CIBC doors will open as of 5:00 p.m. with special offers at our food counters. Our live singer is also back at M2 to put a little atmosphere in your pregame routine.
50/50 RAFFLES AVAILABLE ONLINE
The Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation's 50/50 Lottery
is open to fans aged 18 and over across Quebec. Supporters can now purchase raffle tickets using their mobile phone, tablet, or computer, and participate from the comfort of their own home. A new draw will be held during the third period of every home game, which means that one lucky fan will win big on Tuesday and Saturday. Winners get half of the cash prize, while the other half is reinvested in the community to get underprivileged kids active.
THE PLAYOFFS BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS
Playoff hockey is starting early for the Laval Rocket.
At this junction, every game matters for the Canadiens' AHL affiliate team who continue their push for the playoffs. This week, six points are on the line and a clean sweep would significantly increase the Rocket's bid for a postseason berth.
Place Bell will play host to the opening two games, before the Rocket take off for central Canada on the weekend.
The Bridgeport Islanders enter Laval for a midweek matchup on Wednesday night.
Joël Teasdale
and the Rocket will look to build off of Saturday's win and ride the momentum into latter stages of the week. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET.
TICKETS: Islanders @ Rocket
Pack the barn for Country Night presented by LASSO on Friday night when the Rocket welcome the Milwaukee Admirals to town. Strap on your boots and cowboy hat and strut on down to the honky-tonk for some cross-conference action against the Nashville Predators' farm team.
TICKETS: Admirals @ Rocket

The Rocket will then travel to Manitoba to take on the Moose at Canada Life Centre on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET. Previously this season, the Canadian clubs met for a pair of games at Place Bell where the Rocket picked up three out of a possible four points. Safe to say, the points hold a little more value this time around.
SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP
You asked for it and we delivered: our second edition of player-designed hats is here! Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson took their helmets off and put their designer caps on and came up with a look reflective of their personal style.
