The temperature outside was minus-17C with the wind chill making it feel like minus-27C. Back at Pacioretty’s home in Las Vegas, it was 14C and sunny.

Pacioretty will play his second game at the Bell Centre on Saturday (7 p.m., SNE, CITY, TVA Sports, TSN 690 Radio, 98.5 FM) since the Canadiens traded their former captain to the Golden Knights on Sept. 10, 2018. In his first game back last season, Pacioretty was held pointless and had a minus-2 rating in a 5-4 loss and he finished the year with 22-18-40 totals, along with a minus-13, while limited to 66 games because of injury. This season, Pacioretty leads the Golden Knights in scoring with 20-26-46 totals while playing in all 50 games and is plus-9.
