The opposing coaches arranged for the brothers to meet directly at centre ice for the opening face-off as their parents observed from the spectator seating. Nick serves as captain for the Montreal Canadiens and enters the year following a career-best 101-point campaign that included a Selke Trophy victory. Ryan joined the Ottawa Senators organization during the summer after previously being selected in the first round of the 2019 NHL Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes.
