If the answer is “no,” that’s OK. Montreal nearly backed its way into the playoffs and the Washington Capitals hit a rough patch of their own. Still, this matchup brings a whole bunch of juice — the most prolific goal scorer of all time, the East’s top team and the return of postseason hockey to one of the sport’s true epicenters.

After falling behind 0-2 in the series, the Montreal Canadiens now return to the Bell Centre in hopes that the energy of the home crowd amps up the team towards a comeback against the Washington Capitals.

The Washington Capitals host the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday, April 23 for Game 2 of their Stanley Cup Playoffs series.
