Canadiens will be allowed to play home games in front of full capacity crowd on March 12

It looks like the Montreal Canadiens are finally joining the other Canadian NHL franchises in opening up their home arena to a full crowd.

The Quebec government confirmed that they will allow Montreal Canadiens to play games at the Bell Centre in front of a full capacity crowd on March 12, which is two days earlier than previously announced.

In addition, proof of vaccination will no longer be required, but fans will have to wear masks unless eating or drinking.

The Canadiens will be hosting the Seattle Kraken on March 12.
