Montreal has recovered from a terrible start to the season with four wins in six games, including a 5-4 overtime win at Winnipeg last night on Max Pacioretty's power-play goal. Al Montoya made 19 saves for the Canadiens, while starting goalie Carey Price is questionable for this game. Chicago had lost five of six before winning its last two games against Philadelphia and at Minnesota. Corey Crawford had 24 saves in the 2-0 win against the Wild, but Anton Forsberg could start in goal tonight. Forsberg has an .895 save percentage and 4.26 goals-against average. The Canadiens look to avenge a 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Oct. 10, and Chicago is 3-12 its last 15 games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game dating to last season. And the Blackhawks are just 7-15 their last 22 games overall. Take the Canadiens.
