All eyes are focused on Montreal this afternoon, watching Claude Julien's first game as Canadiens head coach since his hiring last week.
Seriously. All eyes:
Nice to see Claude Julien behind the bench again for the @CanadiensMTL. Welcome back. #GoHabsGo

Early in the opening frame versus the Jets, defenseman Andrei Markov ensured his new coach starts with a lead, finishing a perfect passing play from Max Pacioretty and Alex Galchenyuk.
