One of the NHL's biggest rivalries will write its next chapter this weekend. The surging Montreal Canadiens prepare to host the Toronto Maple Leafs at Bell Centre on Saturday, and the two teams clash in what will be the top-priced NHL game this week. The Boston Bruins travel to Midtown Manhattan to take on the New York Rangers for a mid-week battle while the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers meet in the third priciest game of the week on Friday. The Canucks will be right back in the mix the following night when they host the Washington Capitals while the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks round out the list when they play at SAP Center on Saturday.
