Longtime Montreal captain Saku Koivu made his long-awaited return to the Bell Centre Saturday night.

In his second year with the Anaheim Ducks, Koivu will not be a regular visitor to Montreal while he plays in the Western Conference, so it was a special night on Saturday.

Before the game began, the sellout crowd made their appreciation for Koivu known, with a long and sustained standing ovation for their former captain.
