Canadiens update: Montreal is tied for the fewest points in the NHL at 5-9-2, but the Canadiens are coming off a slump-busting victory vs. the Sabres on Monday. Their 7-5 victory ended a six-game skid. LW Cole Caufield’s 12 goals are tied for the league lead. Six of Caufield’s goals have come at even strength, and the other six have been on the power play. At 23.3% and with 13 goals, Montreal has one of the better power plays in the NHL.
Wild update: As insurance, D Daemon Hunt and F Michael Milne are up from Iowa of the AHL.
Injuries: Wild D Jonas Brodin took a maintenance day on Wednesday and is questionable. Canadiens LW Rafael Harvey-Pinard (leg) and RW Patrik Laine (knee) are out.
The group of Marcus Johansson, Marco Rossi and Ryan Hartman produced the first goal and the game-winner vs. the St. Louis Blues.
