Andersen's Canadiens Trouble Goes Way Back

Frederik Andersen is not walking into this matchup with a clean slate, and that matters more than casual fans think. Goaltenders carry memory differently than skaters do, and when a certain opponent starts living rent-free in the back of your head, every rebound and every save selection gets a little heavier. The Canadiens have been a bad matchup for him for a while, and that old baggage now hangs over a game where the margins are already razor-thin.
