There are a few things to note ahead of tonight's game between the Wild and the Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

Kirby Dach will return to the lineup, while Alexandre Texier will give up his spot. Jayden Struble will play as Sheriff Arber Xhekaj is left out. Jakub Dobes will get the start for the Habs.

Ah… and we should also mention that Kyle Dubas will be at the Bell Centre for the game.

Obviously, this is a strange coincidence. The Penguins played last night in Seattle, and let's face it, an Habs vs. Wild game on a Tuesday night isn't necessarily the most exciting thing in the world.

That said, you have to wonder why Dubas decided to make the trip to Montreal for the game. And I'm wondering, ultimately, if this has anything to do with Sidney Crosby.

I wonder because there are links between #87 and the Habs.

We know what they are… because we've been talking about them for quite some time now. The Habs' name has been linked to Crosby's for a long time now, because the matter refuses to die in Montreal.

Maybe Dubas will be at the Bell Centre for another reason too. Maybe he wants to check out the Wild because the Pittsburgh Penguins GM is interested in some Minnesota players.

Then again, it's an odd coincidence when you consider Crosby's history with the Canadiens. The guy's at the end of his career, he's not going to win in Pittsburgh, the Habs are looking for a top-6 center…

It's often said that there's never smoke without fire. And I wonder if that applies here.

Because I find it hard to believe that Kyle Dubas made the trip to the Bell Centre to eat roast beef—as good as it is…


Overtime

– Great story.

– Bravo.

– Sick!

– Whew.
