The Montreal Canadiens host the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at Centre Bell. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET as the two clubs meet for the first time during the 2026-2027 regular season.
Montreal enters the contest with a 4-3-2 record. In their last five games, the Canadiens earned three victories before dropping two of their past three decisions. That stretch includes a 1-0 shootout win over the Detroit Red Wings, a 4-3 shootout win against the Buffalo Sabres, a 5-4 loss at the Washington Capitals, a 4-3 overtime win against Buffalo, and a 4-3 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks.
Winnipeg also brings a 4-3-2 record into the matchup but is looking to halt a three-game winless skid (0-2-1). The Jets opened their previous five-game span with a 5-1 loss against the Anaheim Ducks and a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild. Since then, they dropped a 4-3 overtime decision at the Chicago Blackhawks, fell 3-2 against the Carolina Hurricanes, and lost 2-1 on the road against the St. Louis Blues.
Tuesday marks the initial meeting between the teams this year. With identical records in the standings, both Winnipeg and Montreal aim to capture two points in their first head-to-head clash of the campaign.
The matchup features two squads that have played tight contests recently. Four of Montreal's last five games required extra time through either overtime or a shootout, while Winnipeg has been held to two or fewer goals in three of its past five outings.
