MONTREAL — Sounds that were unimaginable just months ago: Massive cheers at the Bell Centre for Chris Kreider. Of course, you knew they’d ring out at full volume as soon as the former New York Rangers villain scored his first goal with the Montreal Canadiens. And they did after Kreider parked himself outside Samuel Ersson’s crease and shovelled home a Nick Suzuki pass to open the scoring in a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators to close out the pre-season. Less predictable was how Canadiens fans ...

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost in self-admitted embarrassing fashion last night but are somehow still alive and tied for first place. Kennedi Landry writes about the final start of Jacob deGrom’s season (maybe) going very awry. Jeff Wilson used the word crumbled to describe deGrom’s start, which is probably fair.
