The hockey world is in mourning after the passing of Hall of Famer Mike Bossy. Although it’s a sad day for hockey fans, it’s somehow fitting the team he helped lead to greatness, the New York Islanders, are in his hometown of him to face the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Center on Friday night. Puck drop at 7 pm (TSN2, RDS, TSN 690 Radio, 98.5 FM).

To all Liveblog commenters tonight: share your favorite Bossy memories below.

Tonight also marks the return of Carey Price. He last started in goal in the Stanley Cup final, and it’s been a long road back from offseason knee surgery and time in the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.

With Price’s return, Cayden Primeau was assigned to the Laval Rocket. Michael Pezzetta and Corey Schueneman return in place of Tyler Pitlick and Jordan Harris.
