Montreal will look to avoid losing a fourth straight in this series with a concerted effort at home as it guns for the top spot in the Northeast Division.
The Habs are only two-points behind the Bruins and have won five of their last seven..they've won 12 of their last 17 in front of the home town crowd.
Calgary is coming off a hard-fought 2-1 shootout victory in Toronto on Saturday..note though that this is the final game of a four-game road swing vs. East opponents..Calgary was last in Montreal in a 1-0 victory back on November 10th, 2009.
Miikka Kiprusoff is scheduled to start here. "Kippy" returned to the "winners circle" in that Toronto victory, after struggling in his previous few starts; also keep in mind that he has a 1.67 GAA in his last three-starts vs. the Habs.
Carey Price and his "partner in crime", Alex Auld, have a combined 2.33 GAA.
Montreal SHOULD take this one. Calgary's two wins were against the Leafs and Senators. Auld is in net for Montreal though. We'll see what happens. Calgary beat them both games last season.
