[Kenzie Lalonde] From the NHL: With Mike Matheson’s assist last night (56GP), he became the second-fastest defenseman in franchise history to record 40 points with the Canadiens (NHL debut or otherwise) behind Sprague Cleghorn (46 GP) over 100 years ago.

I still don’t understand how a 30 pts defenceman suddenly turned into a 50 pts defenceman for us. Is it the PP deployment? The home factor?
EDIT: Also the Cleghorn stat is wrong I think, he had 40 pts in his first 46 games in Montréal but he actually played his first 19 games for the Wanderers, not the Canadiens. He had 37 pts in his first 48 games with the Habs.
Still can’t believe we got him for a disinterested and declining Petry + Poehling, such a good trade
So we traded a older petry for a younger, faster, and potentially more offensive petry. Uhhh KH magic
I remember taking my son to watch Sprague play. He was so smooth on the ice, and always took time to meet with the fans after the game. such a gem.
