The Montreal Canadiens look to continue the best start in their illustrious history when they visit the improving Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. The Canadiens boast 19 points (9-0-1) after 10 games for the first time and take an eight-game winning streak on the road after Carey Price’s 42 saves allowed them to turn back Vancouver 3-0 on Wednesday in Montreal.

The Detroit Red Wings look to put an end to their three-game slide when they host the equally struggling Winnipeg Jets on Friday. Detroit is coming off its 12th consecutive regular-season setback at Philadelphia, a 4-3 overtime loss on Wednesday in which it squandered an early two-goal lead as well as a one-tally edge with 64 seconds remaining in the third period.

The Anaheim Ducks attempt to avoid a third consecutive loss at Honda Center when they continue their three-game homestand against the Arizona Coyotes on Friday. Anaheim won its first two at home this season but has been outscored 9-1 in its last two, including a 5-1 setback against Pittsburgh on Wednesday in the opener of the homestand.
