The Montreal Canadiens are in the midst of another disappointing NHL campaign as the rebuild continues.

When the Boston Bruins acquired three-time Stanley Cup champion Pat Maroon at the 2024 NHL trade deadline, they probably thought he’d be in the lineup by now.

The New York Rangers have looked like one of the best teams in the National Hockey League over the last couple of weeks — and that’s without the services of key defenseman Jacob Trouba.
