Nashville at Montreal

This is the first meeting of the season, but Nashville has won five of the last seven against the Canadiens. Montreal is unlikely to have Carey Price in goal tonight as he is day-to-day with a minor injury after returning from a three-game absence while stopping 33 shots on Thursday. The Predators look to bounce back from a 4-3 overtime loss at Detroit on Friday night. P.K. Subban is back after suffering an upper-body injury and scored for the Predators, who had won their previous two games against Washington and Philadelphia. Juuse Saros is expected in goal for Nashville as it's playing back-to-back and he is 9-5-1 with a 2.83 goals-against average and .902 save percentage with two shutouts. He also had 32 saves in his team's 4-0 win over the Flyers on New Year's Day. Nashville is 10-4 its last 14 games when playing on no rest and 14-5 its last 19 versus the Eastern Conference. Take the Predators.
