Coming off a slightly disappointing 4-3 SO loss to the Blue Jackets last night, Montreal will hope to rebound against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight. Toronto, (5-5-4, 18th in league) have been raising eyebrows around the league. They have upset the likes of the Devils, the Rangers and the Bruins. So don't expect another 6-1 blowout. However, if the Leafs would like a chance against the Canadiens, they need to stay out of the penalty box as the Canadiens tallied 3 times on the man advantage last time they played.
Look for Sergei Kostitsyn to be hungry for points tonight. Kostitsyn, who sent the last night's game to OT after scoring with 40 secs to go, has been picked a little after his 7-game point drought. He recorded 3 points (2 goals, 1 assist) for the Habs in their last game against the Buds. Also, keep an eye out for our old friend Mikhail Grabovski. Grabovski has 6 points in his last 3 games and would love to extend his point streak against his old team.
No changes in the lineup tonight, except for Price starting in net, meaning Begin, Dandenault and O'Byrne are healthy scratches for the second night in a row.
What the Habs need to remember for the night, is to play hard ALL game long. Toronto will find a way back into the game if they let up.
