On this day in hockey history…
1918— Montreal’s Joe Malone scored five times (to become the first 20 goal scorer in NHL history) as the Canadiens won 9-4 over Ottawa. 1981— Montreal Canadiens became the first NHL team to have four different goaltenders get shutouts in one season, when rookie Richard Sevigny picked up the first of his NHL career in a 5-0 win over Edmonton, at the Forum. |

► Price’s rising star

- This is Price’s sixth All-Star appearance.
► Big Cubano headed to the oil patch
- Al Montoya returned to practice in Montreal with his team for the first time to kick off 2018. A few days later Montoya was packing his bags and heading to Edmonton in return for a conditional 2018 fourth round pick. If Montoya plays fewer than seven games this season, the return is a 2018 fifth round pick.
► Ferraro is dumbfounded
- Following Marc Bergevin’s bizarre mid-season press conference, TSN analyst Ray Ferraro was asked to weigh in on the Mikhail Sergachev for Jonathan Drouin trade and the related general manager’s comments.
- Given that the Canadiens traded their number one prospect for a player who didn’t address their number one need, Ferraro said, “It made no sense, zero.”
- After acknowledging that Drouin is vastly underachieving this season, Ferraro said that he was “blown away” that Bergevin acknowledged in the presser that his 22-year-old forward didn’t belong at centre.
- Ferraro wondered aloud how much Drouin’s first language factored into Bergevin’s pursuit of the player.
► Habs family grows by one
- Andrew Shaw and his wife Chaunette Boulerice have announced they will be adding another member to their family. Their baby is due in July 2018.

- Team Canada has added four former Canadiens: Maxim Lapierre, Rene Bourque, Ben Scrivens and Christian Thomas.
► Deslauriers gets rewarded
- Nicolas Deslauriers has won the Molson Cup for December. His play, along with Daniel Carr, has been what was needed to revive the fourth line.
