When Alexandre Daigle's World Junior Performance Sparked Ottawa's Hope Of A Turnaround
When the Ottawa Senators selected Victoriaville Tigres star Alexandre Daigle first overall in the 1993 NHL Draft, most people believed the team had landed a generational superstar. In his rookie season, Daigle scored 20 goals and 51 points, and while he didn't thrive the way the team had hoped, he was second in scoring behind fellow rookie Alexei Yashin, who notched 30 goals and 79 points.

New Canadiens Projected Top-Six Has Interesting Look
Recently, the NHL's official Facebook account shared what they believe each Atlantic Division club's top six will be heading into the 2025-26 season. This, of course, includes the Montreal Canadiens. For the Canadiens' first line, they unsurprisingly have Nick Suzuki centering wingers Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky. This is certainly what should be the Canadiens' first line next season, as this trio has formed incredible chemistry. Furthermore, Slafkovsky should only continue to improve playing on a line with two legitimate stars in Suzuki and Caufield. Yet, things get more interesting when it comes to the second line. The Canadiens will have multiple different options to consider for this trio, but sees the Habs going with Kirby Dach as their 2C, with Patrik Laine and Ivan Demidov as his wingers. The possibility of this trio being the Canadiens' second line is certainly there, but there are other players who should compete for a spot in Montreal's top six. Off-season addition Zack Bolduc is undoubtedly the most notable omission from this projected top six. When noting that the young winger took a big step forward this past season, he certainly could get a shot on Montreal's second line over a player like Laine. Furthermore, the possibility of Alex Newhook or even Jake Evans landing the 2C spot instead of Dach should also not be ruled out. Nevertheless, the Canadiens certainly have some different options to consider with their top six for this upcoming season. It will be fascinating to see if the NHL's projected top six for the Habs ends up being what they go with. Canadiens Important Defender Facing Big Year The 2025-26 season is a big year for Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson.
