Preview: Monteal Hosts the Rangers.


Verses: New York Rangers

Montreal Canadien's Record: 7-3-0

New York Ranger's Record: 4-5-0

Canadiens Record vs. Rangers Since 2005: 7-7-1-1

Montreal Likely Goalie: Jaroslav Halak

Rangers Likely Goalie: Michelin Man Henrik Lundqvist

Preview Notes: The Rangers have had themselves a nice little start to their season, Montreal not so much. The good news is that Montreal is showing signs of turning things around, if they could just turn all of their potential into skill.

Lundqvist and his massive, massive padding will probably be getting the start tonight for lack of a better option.

The Rangers are going to be looking to snap their 2 game losing streak, whereas Montreal is riding high on a two game win streak.

Looks like Price is going to have to wait a little longer (and gain some skill) before his centennial start. Halak will need to be sharp as the Rangers are averaging just under 4 goals a game. Maybe Montreal will catch a break and Gaborik's groin will finally give out...again.
