Montreal Canadiens Three Stars in Rematch vs Vancouver Canucks

Josh Anderson

The Montreal Canadiens made a trade in the offseason that didn’t sit well with many Habs fans at the time. Max Domi was shipped out with a third round pick for Josh Anderson. Fans couldn’t believe that the Habs had to include a pick in the trade, but it is starting to look like they should have been asked for a few more picks.

Anderson stepped right into the Habs lineup on the first line and has looked excellent all season. His first game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, he showed his speed, power, and offensive skills as he scored two goals in the overtime loss.

Anderson would score another pair of goals last night in the first period. He showed off his 200 foot game, making defensive plays in his own zone and capitalizing on his chances.

He won a foot race behind the net for a loose puck and knocked it to Nick Suzuki and then headed for the front of the net. Just as he arrived at the side of the crease, a Ben Chiarot point shot was stopped but the rebound landed right on Anderson’s stick and he tapped it in to open the scoring.

He didn’t wait long for his next goal. Once again he headed to the front of the net and this time he got a stick on a Brett Kulak point shot and redirected it past Thatcher Demko.
