MONTREAL -- Two elite goal-scorers. Two elite goaltenders. And while still early, a potential first-round playoff match-up preview.
That's what will be on display when the Montreal Canadiens host the Washington Capitals on Monday night at the Bell Centre.
The Canadiens are back home after a season-high seven-game road trip on which they earned 10 of a possible 14 points -- including three straight to close out the voyage -- despite a multitude of injuries. Montreal (25-9-6) sits atop the Atlantic Division with 56 points, just one point up on the Capitals (25-9-5), who have won five straight and currently hold the first Wild Card spot.
