Game Preview: Habs @ Senators

Tonight will be another match up that features two teams who are struggling for points. Ottawa is now 6-9-3 and next to last in the league. It's amazing how a team can go from setting records on wins to completely blowing up. Montreal (10-5-2) is slowly turning into that kind of team. They've been losing games that should have been wins. That might have something to do with the lack of offense. They only have 5 goals in the last 6 games.
New lineups tonight, again for Montreal. Carbo reunites Lats with Koivu and Tanguay, switches Higgins and Kostitsyn's places meaning that Higgins is with Plekanec and Kovy while Kostitsyn is with Lang and Kostopoulos. And, for what ever reason, the fourth line is shaping out to be Sergei Kostitsyn with Laraque and Begin. Don't expect S.Kostitsyn to be there for long though, he's not a fourth liner. Maybe the purpose is to send a message, or Carbo's completely lost his mind.
Price is starting in net once again. Hopefully he'll be able to repeat his next-to-perfect performance Tuesday.
