Here's everything you need to know heading into the game:
1. For two periods, the Canadiens couldn't generate much offensively against the Kings in a 4-2 loss over the weekend. Head coach Martin St-Louis' contingent was down 3-0 in the final stanza when Mike Hoffman and Cole Caufield managed to cut into Los Angeles' lead and make things interesting, but Adrian Kempe eventually sealed the deal with an empty-netter. Goaltender Jake Allen made 31 saves. It was the third defeat in the last four games for Montreal. Defenseman Mike Matheson didn't play because of a lower-body injury. He's day-to-day.

2. Caufield extended his goal-scoring streak to three games with his team-leading 16th tally of the year. He has four goals in his last five games. This particularly impressive stretch actually began on Dec. 1 in Calgary when he scored the game-winner on the power play in a 2-1 victory at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

3. It's the first Bobblehead Night of the season! The first 5,000 fans to enter the Bell Centre will receive a Joel Edmundson figurine, so make sure to arrive early. Three additional bobbleheads will be distributed during the 2022-23 campaign, including Caufield (Jan. 17 vs. Winnipeg), Matheson (Mar. 7 vs. Carolina) and Nick Suzuki (Mar. 30 vs. Florida).

4. The Flames dropped their second consecutive game on Saturday night, falling 5-4 to the Maple Leafs in overtime in Toronto. Mitch Marner scored the game-winner in the extra frame. He's in the midst of a 22-game point streak, amassing 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists) during that span. Noah Hanifin scored twice for Calgary. Nazem Kadri and Trevor Lewis also scored for the visitors. Goaltender Dan Vladar made 29 saves in the loss. Elias Lindholm leads head coach Darryl Sutter's squad with 23 points (9 goals, 14 assists), while Kadri ranks second with 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists). Tyler Toffoli (10 goals, 10 assists) and Rasmus Andersson (4 goals, 16 assists) are tied for third with 20 points. This marks Toffoli's first appearance in Montreal since being dealt to the Flames on Feb. 14.
5. Puck drop is 7:00 p.m. ET. You can watch the game on Sportsnet and RDS, and listen on the radio on TSN 690 and 98,5 fm.
