Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

It was opening night for the Montreal Canadiens as they played a wild 6-5 game with the Toronto Maple Leafs, coming up just short in the shootout on Wednesday night. Scott breaks down the game with all the good and the bad thrown in to kick off the show!

Perhaps the biggest moment of the night came with a clash of two heavyweights as well with Arber Xhekaj showing no fear in going after Ryan Reaves in a decisive win in their first meeting. Does this make Xhekaj the top dog in the NHL's fighter ranks? Scott sure thinks so!

Among the names that also impressed was Juraj Slafkovsky, and after a much ballyhooed preseason, the first overall pick looked great, even in defeat against Toronto. Scott breaks down what went right for the big winger as well!

Finally, to round out the show Scott looks ahead to Saturday's home opener against the Chicago Blackhawks and Connor Bedard. What can Montreal do to tighten things up and come away with their first victory of the season against the newest generational star?
