The Canadiens are coming off a 4-2 win over the Avalanche, Halak made 46 saves in the game.Montreal goalie Carey Price has been struggling going 2-7-0 since the All-Star game. In my opinion Carey Price will most likely sit out for the second straight game tonight against the Canucks because of his poor play. This is now Halak's time to shine, if Halak gives the Canadiens their second straight win you will see him start once again on Tuesday against s the Capitals."The way we've been playing lately, we needed one goalie to step up," Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said."I think Halak did a great job of that in our last game."The Canadiens will not only look for there second straight win but they will look to snap a ten game win less streak against the Canucks tonight.Halak has never faced the Canucks, but he may be the Canadiens' best chance to build some momentum."We've had some meetings in the last week," Montreal center Saku Koivu said. "You can talk all you want off the ice, but you have to get some wins."
As for the Vancover Canucks, they are trying to get into a playoff spot right now.Ever since the Canucks sighed Mats Sundin they have not been the same team.They have taken more penalties(on average 4 penalties a game) and have given up more goals.But as of late the Canucks have started to slowley turn things around winning 4 of their last 5 games. "We know the race is tight for the playoff spots right now, so we just have to keep it going," Vancouver winger Alex Burrows told the team's official Web site. The puck drop will be at 10:08pm E.T and 7:00pm P.T on PPV and RDS.
