Verses: Pittsburgh Penguins
Montreal's Record: 6-5-0
Pittsburgh's Record: 9-2-0
Montreal's Record vs. Pittsburgh Since 2005: 7-7-2
Montreal's Likely Goalie: Jaroslav Halak (4-1, GAA: 1.93)
Pittsburgh's Likely Goalie: Marc-Andre Fleury (8-1, GAA: 2.18)
Montreal's Top Scorer: Mike Cammalleri (5)
Pittsburgh's Top Scorer: Sidney Crosby (6)
Injury Report: Montreal's Olivier Fortier, Ryan O'Byrne, and Alex Henry are all sitting on the IR with various injuries. The biggie is still Andrei Markov who is still out for another 3 1/2 months coutesy of Mr. Price.
The Penguins will be without Maxime Talbot and Sergei Gonchar until November.
Preview Notes: I am assuming that Halak is getting the start tonight because I like to assume that Montreal isn't run by a bunch of helmet wearing retards. With four straight wins under his belt, it'd be foolish to take Halak out, even though he has not faced the Penguins in his career. Fleury suffered is first loss in his last start, but that shouldn't come into play much, look for the penguins to keep doing what they have been, because it's obviously working.
