Bruins reportedly interested in acquiring 28-year-old Canadiens forward
The Montreal Canadiens continue to fall in the NHL standings and as of December 30th, they sit 26th with a record of 15-18-3 (33 points).
With the NHL trade deadline just over two months away, the Montreal Canadiens will more than likely begin to explore options with their pending unrestricted free agents. One of those UFA's that is garnering plenty of attention from around the league is Sean Monahan.
According to TVA Sports' Yvon Pedneault, Montreal's rival, the Boston Bruins, have shown interest in the 28-year-old forward.

"Several other teams could be tempted to acquire him. Sean Monahan is an interesting rental player candidate," he added. "The center position is always highly coveted at this time of year.
Monahan has had a strong start to his time with the Montreal Canadiens, but hasn't played since suffering a lower-body injury on December 6th against the Seattle Kraken.
In 25 games this season, the Brampton (Ontario) native has 17 points (six goals, 11 assists), 16 penalty minutes and is a minus-five.
