Canadiens vs. Wild: Game preview
The Montreal Canadiens are off to a promising start in the 2023-24 season. They have secured three points in their first two games, including a thrilling 3-2 victory in their home opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. The goals from Cole Caufield, Tanner Pearson, and Sean Monahan brought the Bell Centre crowd to their feet, while Samuel Montembeault's 28 saves sealed the deal.
As the Canadiens continue their opening homestand, they face the Minnesota Wild, who are currently 1-1-0 for the season. The Wild secured a shutout win against the Florida Panthers but suffered a 7-4 loss to the Maple Leafs, highlighting their early-season unpredictability.
However, they've had to deal with the loss of key players like Matt Boldy, who is week to week due to an upper-body injury.
With notable departures and additions during the offseason, the Wild will be leaning on players like Pat Maroon, Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Mats Zuccarello for success. Unfortunately, their captain, Jared Spurgeon, is sidelined with an upper-body injury sustained in the preseason.
The Canadiens' early momentum and the Wild's evolving roster make this game a must-watch. Tune in to see how these teams perform on the ice in what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the Bell Centre.
