After the Montreal Canadiens’ fifth straight win, Martin St. Louis gave Phillip Danault a special tribute, with Kaiden Guhle adding another locker room honor.
The Canadiens’ latest victory video opens with players saluting the Bell Centre crowd after another impressive night.
The cameras then catch Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler celebrating together. Fowler earned the win, but Dobes was just as excited for his teammate.
It’s another glimpse of their strong relationship and Dobes’ positive attitude, even as his own situation becomes more challenging.
St. Louis had already shown his appreciation for Dobes following Montreal’s win in Chicago.
Caufield has eight goals this season, while Suzuki had collected 12 points in nine games before being sidelined.
Josh Anderson and Lane Hutson then receive their stars of the game. Anderson finished with two goals, including the winner, and an assist, while Hutson added two helpers.
But the best moment comes when the cameras move into the locker room.
St. Louis presents Danault with the puck from his 800th NHL game, recognizing a veteran who rarely seeks attention.
The Victoriaville native now has 417 career points after adding an assist in nearly 20 minutes against Pittsburgh.
Guhle then steps forward and hands Danault the team’s famous wolf head, another well-earned recognition from his teammates.
Canadiens’ depth steps up as winning streak grows
Danault has just one goal this season, but his +6 rating reflects the value he brings while handling difficult matchups.
With Suzuki and Dach unavailable, Montreal needed its supporting cast to step up. Kreider answered with a goal, an assist and five shots in just over 12 minutes.
The Canadiens are now 9-3-2, including an 8-1-1 stretch over their last 10 games. Winnipeg visits Tuesday, with Montreal looking to extend its winning streak.

And while the wins keep coming, moments like Danault’s show what makes this locker room special. The Canadiens aren’t just celebrating results. They’re recognizing the teammates who make them possible.
