Welcome back, Brendan Gallagher! The 23-year-old scored a goal and added an assist in his return from a 17-game absence. Needless to say, his teammates were excited to have him back in the lineup.
A great view of the game from ice level.
The Canadiens put the Winter Classic out of reach with a Max Pacioretty goal late in the third period as the day turned to night.
