I went from Toronto where I saw the ACC quickly deflate with 40 seconds left to play (and twisted my ankle) to Halifax where I drove home from the airport and heard Dan Robertson call Gallagher's shootout goal to Cape Breton where I am celebrating Thanksgiving and Gobblefest and hopefully watching a Canadiens win on City TV (previously my go-to for watching Community reruns).

It's frustrating to see your team to start four in a row on the road, but it's not so bad if your team plays at .750 or 1.000 clip on that swing. I'm not taking Philly lightly, but I definitely do not view this team as being as strong as an opponent as years past. But if you're looking for a pick for a player to watch -  former Moosehead Jakub Voracek is 3-10-13 in 13 career games vs Canadiens. The Kladno native is one of those guys I've constantly been waiting on to kick it up a notch and the last two years have looked like he's inches away from being an elite talent.

Jarred Tinordi enters the lineup tonight, skating alongside Subban. I am hoping this is just a thing of pure beauty, but if not I'll content myself with the Gilbert-Markov pairing - thought they played well in Toronto and loved seeing so much of them.

Travis Moen draws back into the lineup while Weise Moen and Bournival sit.
