Tonight at 7:00 p.m. the Montreal Canadiens (23-14-3, 49 points) and Carolina Hurricanes (14-16-9, 37 points) skate against each other for the first of three meetings this season live from the PNC Arena in North Carolina. The game can be live streamed here. Montreal fans can hear all of the bone-crunching action by tuning their radios to TSN 690 while Carolina fans can do the same on 99.9 The Fan.
Montreal enters its fifth contest of a six-game road trip having won just one regulation game in its last nine tries while Carolina comes into the game in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division, but is just three points out of a playoff spot.
The Canadiens will look to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday and will try to adjust to their winning ways.
The team has been led by P.K. Subban (5-22-27), Tomas Plekanec (13-11-24) and Alex Galchenyuk (10-12-22) thus far this season. Plekanec has 32 points in 30 career games against Carolina.
The Hurricanes are coming off of a 5-2 road loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs despite the fact that they outshot them 43-27 in the game.
"We had enough chances to win a hockey game," coach Kirk Muller said via NHL.com. "The chances were there. They scored and we didn't."
The Canes have been paced by Eric Staal (9-21-30), Jeff Skinner (14-10-24) and Andrej Sekera (7-14-21).
In between the pipes, Montreal is likely to go with Carey Price, who is 18-11-2 with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage while Carolina may turn to Cam Ward, who is 5-7-5 with a 3.10 GAA and a .898 save percentage.
The Canadiens look to win in regulation while Carolina looks to gain ground on a playoff spot when the lights come up at the PNC Arena in North Carolina.
