Montreal Canadiens vs. Florida Panthers: 3 things to watch

All-Star MVP John Scott is up to play one game as a Montreal Canadien, with the Habs taking on the Florida Panthers in their second-to-last home game of the season.

In the nets,Mike Condon gets the start against hometown boy Roberto Luongo.

Game time: 7:30 p.m. ET at the Bell Centre

Here are three things to watch:

1. John Scott

The John Scott movie needs a final scene. We may well watch the live version tonight.

Scott, the All-Star MVP, will finally suit up in a Habsjersey after being traded to Montreal Jan.15 and sent directly to the St. John's IceCaps.

The fans will finally get to cheer for their own personal Rudy when Scott hits the icea gift from Habs' management to a fan base that has had little to cheer for down the stretch of an awful season.

2.AleksanderBarkov

If there is a player the Habs need to key on in this rematch against the Panthers, it should be Aleksander Barkov.

Barkov had fourpoints inthe Panthers 4-3 win lastSaturday and also put one in back in March, when the Panthers won 4-1.

He wears number 16, and he is just one of the members of the Panthers' potent offence that can do some damage.

3. 60 minutes

The Habs snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when they lost 4-3 to the Panthers lastweekend.

They had built a three-goal lead before letting it slip away in Sunrise.

Since then, the Panthers locked up theirbest regular season record in franchise history with a 4-3 win over the Leafs.

The Habs have been idle and should be well rested, but they are hurting on defence.

They'll need to have everyone pulling in the same direction if they want to give their fans a respectable send-off with just twogames left to play at home.
