The Canadiens battled through the bitter cold in their first two Heritage Classic appearances; now, it'll be more manageable…
The Montreal Canadiens are scheduled to return to the Heritage Classic to face the Winnipeg Jets at Princess Auto Stadium. This appearance marks Montreal's first time participating in the outdoor event since 2011, and the team is set to experience far milder temperatures than in their previous matchups.
