The Florida Panthers are visitors at the Bell Centre tonight. They have a 4-3 record to date, and tonight is the first of a 3 game road trip. Price, who has had 7 consecutive starts in front of the net since the beginning of the season, is delegating his paper work to Peter Budaj, giving Price a breather. This will be Budaj's first regular season game in a Montreal uniform.
The Montreal Canadiens have overcome some roster shuffling as well, acquiring Petteri Nokelainen and Garrett Stafford from the Phoenix Coyotes Saturday for Brock Trotter and a 7th round draft pick in 2012. Nothing much to get excited about, noting that together, these two players have amassed 1 goal in the last three seasons. The Canadiens have demoted Andreas Engqvist and Aaron palushaj to the Bulldogs, and have called up Mike Blunden. Nokelainen and Blunden will be making up the fourth line alongside Mathieu Darche in tonight's dispute.
Spacek will return to the game, pairing up with Weber on the blue line, whereas the 25 year old Emelin will be a healthy scratch for the soirée.
Bon match à tous.
