WHAT\u2019S HAPPENING AT THE BELL CENTRE<\/p>\n
The Montreal Canadiens Children\u2019s Foundation\u2019s 50\/50 raffles are back for the 2025-26 season! Through the entire preseason schedule, take advantage of the Season-Opening Mega Raffle. Rather than awarding a cash prize during each preseason game, all ticket sales from the preseason\u2014from both home and away games\u2014will be combined into one cumulative jackpot. The Mega Raffle has a guaranteed minimum jackpot of $250,000, guaranteeing a cash prize of at least $125,000 for the winner. The draw will take place at the end of the Canadiens\u2019 home opener against the Seattle Kraken on October 14.<\/p>\n
Tickets are now available online at 5050.canadiens.com<\/a>. Participants must be aged 18 years or older and physically located in the province of Quebec at the time of purchase.<\/p>\n TEAM COMPARISONS<\/p>\n The Canadiens are 2-0 this preseason following a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday at the Bell Centre. Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki and the Xhekaj brothers \u2013 who played together for the first time in the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge uniform \u2013 scored en route to a convincing win. With tonight’s contest, the Habs have four exhibition games left on their schedule against Toronto (2) and Ottawa (2).<\/p>\n Speaking of which, the Leafs opened their preseason with a home-and-away series against the Sens.
