RISE: Montreal Canadiens HIGH Expectations—Suzuki, Caufield, Hutson have Habs fans thinking BIG

Montreal Canadiens had a breakout year to the Eastern Conference Finals, but can their dynamic young core deliver the Stanley Cup? Nick Suzuki’s leadership, Cole Caufield’s scoring prowess and Juraj Slafkovski ignite hope in Montreal, propelling the Habs to one of their best seasons in years. Eddie Garcia and Shukri Wrights welcome in Locked on Canadiens hot Ian Bosvert highlight Jakub Dobes’ goaltending heroics, the impact of losing Brendan Gallagher’s leadership presence, and Montreal’s forward-thinking offseason strategy.
