Preview: Canadiens Visit the Desert


Montreal Canadiens Record: 8-10-0

Phoenix Coyotes Record: 10-7

Canadiens Record vs. Coyotes Since 2005: 3-0

Canadiens Likely Goalie: Carey Price... he's going to cancel out all the good things Miller did for my fantasy team...

Coyotes Likely Goalie: Ilya Bryzgalov

Canadiens Top Scorer: Michael Cammalleri (7 goals, 14 points, generoulsy listed as 5'9" on the Canadiens website)

Coyotes Top Scorer: Shane Doan (5 goals, 14 points)

Injury Report: The Coyotes are missing some D, which probably explains how much they've cooled off. Michalek (lower body) and Jovanovski (lower body) are both out.

The Canadiens are thrilled to be without Hal Gill. Or at least they should be.

Preview Notes: Montreal has lost three straight at home and is looking for a booster chair boost to see over their dashboards get back on track. They travel to Hamilton Kansas City Winnipeg Phoenix to meet the low scoring Coyotes.

The Coyotes have been a surprise this season in the standings and in the fact that the NHL still wants to keep a team in a place that can't get more than 6,000 fans per game. However, the putrid Carey Price may be in luck tonight if he gets the start, as the Coyotes have the inability to score. Although they will probably break out of that slump by facing Price.

Have fun watching this game Coyotes fans, because the team just may head back to Canada with the Canadiens!
