For a complete game recap: Kotkaniemi Sets Mark, Habs Down Ducks

Players to watch

• Shea Weber
  Domi can be an impact player but often lets his emotions get the better of him. As Claude Julien said on the weekend, players like Domi need to realize that they are not only hurting themselves but hurting the team. Domi needs to focus on the job at hand.
• Joel Armia
  Armia, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Artturi Lehkonen have been the Canadiens best line since the return from the bye week. Armia is strong on the forecheck and great at puck recovery. He creates chances for himself and his linemates.    
• Phillip Danault
  Mete left last game early after taking an awkward hit from Milan Lucic and going head first into the boards. Fortunately, he was able to return to action. Mete has been caught trying to force the puck up the ice on his own a little too much and should be  more cautious and make better decisions.

Keys to Victory

• Defend well
  The Canadiens defence has to be ready and be on the top of their game, the Jets are going to come in fast and hard. Getting the puck up the ice quickly will be a big factor.
• Finish chances
  The Habs have to make their chances count, any grade A chances have to go in the back of the net.
• Win special teams
  The Montreal penalty-kill will be tested and the Habs power-play has to be confident and continue what they have been doing the last few games.
