Montreal at Carolina

This is a tough spot for Montreal in their second straight road game of a five-game trip. The Canadiens are 2-5 in their last seven road games. Montreal is not a good offensive team, #19 in goals scored and #23 on the power play. The Carolina Hurricanes entered the break on the heels of a 2-1 shootout win at New Jersey on Tuesday before falling by the same score in regulation at Tampa Bay on Saturday. There's good news as Carolina will get Jordan Staal in the lineup for the first time since he broke his leg in the preseason. The center had 15 goals and 25 assists last season. And the home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these teams. Play Carolina.
