All Habs Headlines: Friday December 1, 2017
On this day in hockey history…

1924— The first NHL game in the United States was played! The Boston Bruins, the first American team to join the league, hosted the Montreal Maroons and beat them 2-1.

1940— ets of brothers played in one NHL game! Lynn and Muzz Patrick, and Neil and Mac Colville played for the Rangers; and Max and Doug Bentley, and Bob and Bill Carse played for Chicago. Weird! Bently, Carse, and the Black Hawks won the battle of brothers 4-1.

1996 – Wayne Gretzky became the first, and only player in NHL history to reach the 3,000-point plateau, which included playoffs, as he recorded an assist in a Rangers 6-2 win over the Canadiens. The Great One finished his legendary career with 2,857 regular-season points and 260 in the playoffs, good for 3,117 total points.

► Snufleupugus is REAL!

►Sad news for the Pocket Rocket

► International Man of Mystery

  • After much speculation, it was announced Jonathan Drouin did not travel with the team to Detroit
  • There were rumors of a missing passport, yet it still took nearly 12 hours to confirm a minor injury.

► Carr Recalled

  • Daniel Carr has been recalled to Montreal and will meet the team in Detroit.  His 12 goals and 19 points in 20 games played have him sitting in second in the AHL for points.
  • In his first game back with the Canadiens he had one assist, played 11:25, was even and took one shot on goal.

► Get Cracking

  • In a minor trade Canadiens acquire Adam Cracknell from the NY Rangers in return for Peter Holland.
  • Cracknell, 32, is in the final year of his deal that pays him $675,000. As he was in the minors, he didn’t require waivers to report to Laval.
  • Cracknell is a rugged depth forward capable of playing all three forward positions.
