The Columbus Blue Jackets and the Montreal Canadiens are the two teams featured in today's Crossover NHL Grid. Users are challenged to solve this grid by naming players for both teams.
To solve this grid, let's first try to know more about both teams. The Montreal Canadiens are the oldest franchise to play in the NHL. Moreover, they are also the most successful club with 24 Stanley Cup titles under their belt.
On the other hand, the Columbus Blue Jackets have been in the league for a long time now, but they are yet to engrave their name on the Cup. Both teams compete in the Eastern Conference.
Notably, there are only 24 players to be part of both teams and Manny Malhotra is one of the correct answers to get this NHL grid solved.
Malhotra had a career of 16 years in the league. He was drafted No.7 overall by the New York Rangers in the 1988 draft and played for four seasons with the team. The 6-foot-2 center played for five seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets and spent one year with the Montreal Canadiens.
