Canadiens Big Forward Continues To Shine In Contract Year

The Montreal Canadiens picked up an impressive 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.

With this victory, the Canadiens now have a 12-3-4 record and are tied at the top with the Tampa Bay Lightning at the top of the Atlantic Division with 28 points.

Josh Anderson played a notable role in the Canadiens' win. This is because he scored a goal and recorded an assist in the contest. Anderson's assist was also on Jake Evans' game-winning goal. 

This was just the latest strong performance from Anderson during his very good start to the season for the Canadiens. Following this multi-point game, the Canadiens veteran forward has now recorded eight goals and four assists in 18 games. 

Anderson has also been hot for the Canadiens as of late. Over his last five games alone, the 6-foot-3 winger has recorded four goals and six points. With this, he is making a real impact so far this campaign.

Anderson is currently in a contract year, too, as he is a pending unrestricted free agent. With the way he is playing now, there is no question that he is making a real case to earn a contract extension. 

It will now be interesting to see if Anderson can keep his hot streak going for the Canadiens from here.
