Welcome back to the daily Hockey Inside/Out newsletter, where Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes has won five straight games since the start of the new year.
"It’s hard to believe it has been 30 years since the franchise relocated from the provincial capital to Denver. But kudos to the NHL for permitting the Avalanche to wear the Nordiques’ home blue uniforms. One team in red, the other in blue."

"There’s certain plays where it might look like it’s an open net — he’s going to get across and continue to battle. He takes up a lot of space. We’ve seen him get on runs with us before and he’s capable of doing that. He’s just a guy, when the puck drops for game time, he’s always ready to play."
