Canadiens Aim for Road Trip Sweep in Denver Against Red-Hot Avalanche

DENVER, CO – Riding a wave of momentum, the Montreal Canadiens face a tough test Saturday afternoon against the Colorado Avalanche, looking to complete a three-game road trip sweep. Fresh off a dominant 4-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, the Habs are looking to carry their strong play into a matchup with a formidable Avalanche team.

Colorado, despite a recent 3-2 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild, has been on a tear in November, making this a significant challenge for Montreal. The Canadiens took three of a possible four points against the Avs last season.

Key to Montreal’s recent success has been the resurgence of forward Zachary Bolduc, who followed up a three-point game in Utah with a goal and an assist against Vegas. Cole Caufield also made Canadiens history on Friday, notching his 132nd career goal, placing him sixth all-time in franchise history for goals scored before the age of 25.

However, the Canadiens will need to contain Colorado’s offensive firepower, led by captain Nathan MacKinnon, who has racked up an impressive 41 points in 24 games. Martin Necas and Cale Makar are also potent offensive threats, while former Canadien Artturi Lehkonen is nearing the ten-goal mark.

Puck drop is scheduled for this afternoon. Canadiens fans can follow the team’s official social media channels for the final lineup before the game.
