Zachary Bolduc continues to impress as a promising player in the NHL. The young forward, who played for the St. Louis Blues, showcased his scoring ability during the latter half of last season. He scored 14 goals, including seven power-play goals in his last 28 games. This performance caught the eye of the Montreal Canadiens, who acquired him during the summer.
Zachary Bolduc’s Stellar Start
In just two games this season, Bolduc has quickly proven his value to the Canadiens. He achieved the impressive feat of scoring in both matches, setting a strong precedent for the season ahead. His teammate, Brendan Gallagher, praised him, saying, “He is talented. He has scored goals all his life.” Gallagher, who played alongside Bolduc, noted his past success in the QMJHL, where Bolduc recorded monumental seasons with the Quebec Remparts, scoring 50 and 55 goals.
Chemistry on the Ice
The synergy between Bolduc and Gallagher has been evident. Bolduc shared, “I love playing with him; we complement each other well.” Gallagher has assisted on both of Bolduc’s goals and has been a vocal supporter in celebrating his achievements. Their partnership, along with Kirby Dach, has highlighted the potential of the Canadiens’ offensive lineup this season.
- Zachary Bolduc: Two goals in two games
- Brendan Gallagher: Assists on both Bolduc goals
- Kirby Dach: Part of the successful scoring trio
- Oliver Kapanen: Also scored two goals this season
- Defensive Contributions: Goals from Mike Matheson and Alexandre Carrier
The overall contribution of the team has also been noteworthy. Nick Suzuki, the team captain, remarked on the depth of the Canadiens’ offensive threat, stating, “Every line is dangerous, even from the blue line.” This well-rounded approach has alleviated pressure from the top line and diversified scoring opportunities throughout the roster.
The Future Looks Bright
With Bolduc’s track record and the newfound chemistry within the team, the Montreal Canadiens appear poised for success this season. The combination of experience and youth in their roster offers fans plenty to be excited about. Bolduc’s ability to become a 50-goal scorer in the NHL seems within reach, making his performances one to watch as the season unfolds.
