Five things to know about tonight's NHL games ...
1. Roy Back in Montreal. He expects a warm reception and one expects that'll be the case.
2. Caps vs. Boudreau. This coach vs. former team rivalry has 100 percent more Stephane Robidas.
3. Red Wings Are Shorthanded. Brenden Smith will play forward. Randy Carlyle, when asked about their Wings' plight: “I'm not here to blow smoke up the Red Wings' chute." Ew.
4. Moulson Back on the Island. Read his thoughts here.
5. How Will Dallas Respond? Phoenix hopped over them into the wild card last night. Kari Lehtonen is back.
