Josh Anderson plays key role in Canadiens' success beyond scoring

Josh Anderson has made a significant impact on the Montreal Canadiens this season, contributing more than just his eight goals and 18 points in 47 games. His plays, like assisting on key goals, have been crucial to the team's success. Last season, Anderson struggled with only nine goals and 20 points, lacking a positive influence on the team. This year, he has embraced a new role, leading in hits and contributing to both offensive pressure and the penalty kill. Anderson's transformation has been noted by teammates and coaches, who see him as a vital leader. His consistent effort and energy have helped shape the team's identity, marking a stark contrast to his performance last season.
