On this Saturday night in January, the Canadiens are hosting the New York Rangers at the Bell Centre. The second-best team in the league is making a stop in the metropolis, and the bookmakers don't give the home team much chance of winning this matchup.
However, it's the Habs who scored the first goal; in fact, it's 3-0 early in the second as of the time of writing. Brendan Gallagher opened the scoring with a perfectly placed shot, and the NHL wanted to highlight it.
We love it! It's his first goal in 25 games, and it's quite a beauty. It's rare for the NHL to give credit to Canadiens players in this way, so it's even more impressive.
