Canadiens Daily: Habs Finally Win; Draft Odds; Caufield To Finland?

The Montreal Canadiens beat the New York Rangers 4-3 and losing streak is over but they will still have the best chance to pick first overall in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

Montreal Canadiens rookie winger Cole Caufield may be strutting his stuff on the international stage soon.

What was it like coaching Guy Lafleur? Scotty Bowman tells the MHN Podcast!

That and more in the latest MHN Canadiens Daily:

Montreal Canadiens

Jeff Petry scored with 31 seconds left in regulation and the Montreal Canadiens snapped their nine-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the New York Rangers. However, thanks to the Arizona Coyotes winning, they also secured the best odd to pick first overall at the 2022 NHL Entry Draft in Montreal.

Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield has ripped it up in the second half and now he can keep it going with USA Hockey at the World Championships in Finland next month.

One of the greatest perks of my job is to just kind of be a fly on the wall sometimes and absorb hockey greatness. That was the case this week when Marco and I interviewed the legendary Scotty Bowman on the latest episode of the MHN Podcast and talked about Guy Lafleur.

BOS: For any NHL fan outside of Boston, or his teammates, Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand is most arguably one of the most hated players in the league. Apparently most NHL players feel the same way according to those who took part in the latest NHL Player poll.

Hate to play against him – but would love to have him on their team. @bmarch63 (@NHLBruins) has a special mix of skill and grit that players would rather line up beside than compete against. #NHLPAPlayerPoll pic.twitter.com/dGPb8j3FnM
