Players to target: Max Pacioretty, Phillip Danault, and Brendan Gallagher

With Alexander Radulov likely out in a matchup with the Vancouver Canucks, Brendan Gallagher will jump up to the top line. When he's paired with Danault and Pacioretty, they have posted ridiculous possession numbers -- 87.6 Corsi For per 60 minutes and 12.1 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes.

They will be split up on the power play, but both units can have success against a struggling Canucks penalty kill. Vancouver is down to a 77.4 penalty kill percentage and has allowed seven power play goals in their last six games. Not only does the Canadiens' top line have a solid special teams matchup, but they should also see extended time against the Canucks second line, featuring Bo Horvat.

Horvat's line is allowing 74.2 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and only a 41.2 Corsi For percentage. We should see a high volume of shot attempts for this Canadiens' line against Ryan Miller.
