Columbus at Montreal

Montreal has the dazzling record and stats, but got some tough news this week. Star goaltender Carey Price will be sidelined for at least six weeks due to a lower-body injury. Rookie Mike Condon will make his third consecutive start. Condon had a hot start, but is 2-2-2 in his last six starts and has yielded at least three goals in five of them. The Canadiens are 4-9 when playing on two days of rest. Columbus has turned things around on a 6-3-0 run. Ryan Johansen is heating up with five goals in his last eight games, including four tallies in the last five outings. Center Brandon Dubinsky will be back in the lineup after serving a one-game suspension for a cross-check to the head of Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby. The Blue Jackets are 7-2 against a team with a winning record, plus 16-5 when playing on two days of rest. And the road team is 5-1 when these teams clash. Play Columbus.
