Carolina at Montreal

Carolina is at the end of a three-game trip, ranked #23 in goals scored, #28 on the power play, and #18 in goals allowed. The Hurricanes are off a win at Winnipeg, but are 16-35 following a victory. Goalie Cam Ward is back from a concussion, but is 1-5-0 with a 3.95 GAA in Montreal. They also have allowed seven goals on this road trip in two contests and head to an angry bunch in the Canadiens, who busted out offensive yesterday. Montreal is off a 5-1 home win over Edmonton Saturday as Tomas Plekanec had a goal and three assists. P.K. Subban played a monster game with stellar defense, plus a goal and an assist. He extended his point-scoring streak to five games and has points in 14 of the last 16 games. Montreal goes with goalie Mike Condon on three days of rest, and this is the Canadiens third straight home game on a four-game homestand. The Hurricanes are 5-14 against the Atlantic Division, and the home team is 6-2 when these teams clash. Play Montreal.
