Columbus Blue Jackets Face Montreal Canadiens

The Columbus Blue Jackets are set to face the Montreal Canadiens on November 27, looking to extend their three-game winning streak, which includes recent victories over Boston and Carolina. The Blue Jackets have shown improvement in their gameplay following a team meeting after a loss to the Canadiens earlier this month, emphasizing a cohesive and competitive effort. Montreal, meanwhile, is dealing with injuries, including Mike Matheson, and has struggled defensively, allowing the most goals in the league. Cayden Primeau will start in goal for the Canadiens as they aim to improve their lackluster performance and goal-scoring, which ranks them among the lowest in the NHL. Both teams have had their challenges this season, with Columbus holding a slight edge in offensive stats compared to Montreal's struggling defense. This matchup is crucial for both teams as they look to gain momentum in the league.
