Verses:Ottawa vs Montreal
Montreal Record: 2-4-0
Ottawa Record: 4-2-0
Montreal Record vs. Ottawa Since 2005: 14-14-1
Montreal's Likely Goalie: Carey Price
Ottawa's Likely Goalie: Pascal Leclaire
Preview Notes: Kovalev returns back to Montreal when they host Ottawa tonight. If recent history is any indication, Montreal is going to have a rough time as Ottawa is looking sharp and Montreal...well kinda sucks right now. A big win at home against a strong team like Ottawa may be just what the Habs need to turn the start of the season around, but they'll need to get through the likes of Alfredsson, Spezza, and Michalek first
Leclaire has undoubtedly been the stronger of the two goalies thus far, with 12 goals against in 5 games played to Price's 17 in 5 games. Goals against average doesn't look much better for Price who is totalling a 3.43 compared to Leclaire's 2.41 so far. It's ok Price, look at it this way, no one expects you to be good. Luongo has 3.88 GAA and he's supposed to be one of the best!
