It’s a holiday in both Canada (Thanksgiving) and the United States (Columbus Day), but the NHL isn’t taking the day off. With four games on the schedule, here’s what you need to know for Monday:  A pair of matinee games were scheduled in U.S. cities, with Boston hosting Colorado at 1 p.m. ET and Anaheim visiting Buffalo at 3 p.m. ET.  The struggling Bruins hoped for a boost from the return of top scorer David Krejci, who'd missed the first three games with an undisclosed injury. Krejci played 19 minutes but was held without a point as Colorado won 2-1 on Danny Briere's goal with less than a second left in the third period.  The loss dropped the Bruins to 1-3-0, and they've scored only four goals.  Briere's 300th career goal delivered the first win of the season to the Avs, who were outscored 8-0 in a pair of losses to Minnesota. Colorado has been pegged by statheads as a major candidate to regress after improbably finishing with the third-best record in the league last season.  Colorado’s Jarome Iginla returned to Boston for the first time since signing a three-year, $16-million deal with the Avs in the off-season. Iginla, who scored 30 goals for the Bruins last season, has suited up for four different teams over the last three campaigns after spending his first 15 with Calgary. He's still looking for his first point of the season.  Both evening games feature Canadian teams playing in the Sunshine State at 7:30 p.m. ET, as Ottawa visits Florida and Montreal takes on Tampa Bay.  The Canadiens are the toast of the league after opening with three straight wins, all on the road. Most impressive was Saturday’s victory in Philly, where the Habs rallied from three goals down in the third period to win in a shootout.  The last time Montreal and Tampa met, the Canadiens completed a four-game sweep of their first-round playoff series. But the Lightning won three of their four regular-season meetings, so the Habs will be tested to keep their winning streak alive.
Here's what to watch for in the NHL's Thanksgiving/Columbus Day spread, including Montreal's attempt to boost its league-best win total to four at Tampa Bay.
