October 10th, 1983

Minnesota Wild (3-4-0) at Montreal Canadiens (10-0-0)

The Canadiens continue on a incredible start to the 1983-84 season coming out of the gate with 10 straight wins. Montreal continues to win despite a less then stellar PP. Montreal ranks 24th in the NHL with a 9.8% success rate. The Canadiens have been good on the PK though, we have killed 93.2% of our penalties for the 6th best rate in the NHL.

Today we highlight C Ben Archer, the 21 year old from Toronto, ON. He is still considered a prospect and is a offensive forward. The scouts say the strongest part of his game is his playmaking ability. So far this year he has played in all 10 games and has 3 assists for 3 points. He also has 4 PIMs and a +0 rating. So far in 104 career NHL games he has 14 goals and 24 assists for 38 points. He was a free agent signing by Montreal and is currently centering the 4th line.

Minnesota is currently in 10th place in the Western Conference with 6 points, this has them 3 points out of a playoff spot early in the season. The Wild are ranked 16th on the PP with a 14.3% success rate while their PK ranks 11th with a 88.0% kill rate.

The Wild will start G Karl Maurice tonight, he has 2 wins with a 2.51 GAA and .928 save % in 6 games this year. Last season he had 35 wins with a 2.90 GAA and a .907 save %. Montreal starts G Wilf Nestor, he has 8 wins with a 1.70 GAA and a .935 save % in 8 games.

Montreal opens the scoring just 1:11 into the game and maybe highlighting him before the game was lucky for him, C Ben Archer gets his 1st of the year to make it 1-0. The Wild tie it up at 13:10 when LW Jean-David Blais gets his 1st of the year and its 1-1. Montreal goes up 2-1 when C Bryce Spencer gets his 5th of the year at 18:16. The period ends with Minnesota out shooting Montreal 9 to 7.

Montreal takes a 3-1 lead at 15:03 in the 2nd period when LW Robert Henriksson gets his 2nd of the year. Montreal out shot Minnesota 6 to 5 in the tight checking 2nd period.

Montreal completely dominate the 3rd period, but their was no scoring and Montreal grabs win number 11. The shots were 19 to 2 in the 3rd period for Montreal for a game total of 32 to 16 in favour of Montreal. Both teams were 0 for 2 on the PP.

Montreal's RD Tomas Badura was the 1st star with his 2 assists. The 21 year old now has 0 goals and 4 assists for 4 points in 11 games. Last season in 47 games with Montreal he had 3 goals and 13 points.
