Having already moved into first place in the Northeast Division, the Montreal Canadiens are only one win away from taking over the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Canadiens look to ride the strong goaltending of rookie Carey Price to a third straight victory Saturday night when they host nemesis Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils.

Montreal (35-21-9) moved one point ahead of idle Ottawa into first place in the Northeast with a 6-2 victory Friday at Buffalo.

Tomas Plekanec scored three power-play goals for his first career hat trick, and Price stopped 31 shots as the Canadiens won for the sixth time in eight games.

“It was one of those nights when you got the puck in the offensive zone, it ended up in the net,” Plekanec said. “The power play is really big for us right now.”

Mark Streit had a goal and two assists, and Alex Kovalev set up four goals for Montreal, which tied idle Pittsburgh for second in the East, one point behind New Jersey.

Since they were shut out 3-0 by Columbus’ Pascal Leclaire last Saturday, the Canadiens have scored 11 goals in wins over Atlanta and Buffalo. Montreal has registered at least four goals in five of its past six games.

Plekanec matched a career high with four points after recording only one in his previous seven games. The third-year center has already set personal bests with 24 goals, 34 assists and 58 points.

Kovalev, the team leader with 67 points, had his first four-point game since Feb. 8, 2003, with Pittsburgh.

Price has been outstanding in two starts since Montreal traded Cristobal Huet to Washington, paving the way for the 20-year-old rookie to become the team’s No. 1 goalie. Price has stopped 57 of 60 shots in those two games.

“He’s playing solid,” Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said. “Not that I see a big difference, but you can see he’s more calm and really poised in the net.”

New Jersey suffered its first regulation loss in 10 games Friday, falling 4-0 to visiting Washington.

The Devils, who own a one-point lead over Pittsburgh in the Atlantic, have followed a five-game win streak with back-to-back losses (0-1-1). They hadn’t lost in regulation since a 2-1 defeat to Anaheim on Feb. 8.

“The last couple of games we haven’t played 60 minutes, even though we snuck some points out,” forward Brian Gionta said. “Tonight it caught up to us.”

Brodeur, who stopped 25 shots in his 23rd consecutive start Friday, isn’t likely to get a night off against the Canadiens, a team he has dominated lately.

The Devils had won nine straight against the Canadiens before Montreal scored three third-period goals in a 4-3 victory at New Jersey on Jan. 24. New Jersey has won four straight at Montreal since a 3-2 loss on March 20, 2004.

Brodeur, a Montreal native, is 9-1-0 with a 1.99 goals-against average in his last 10 starts against his hometown team. He had won nine in a row versus the Canadiens before the Jan. 24 loss.

Brodeur is 34-13-0 with five ties, a 1.75 GAA and eight shutouts in 52 starts against Montreal.

Devils leading scorer Zach Parise has five goals in his last five games against Montreal, including a hat trick in a 4-0 win on Nov. 30.

These teams have split two games this season—both in New Jersey.

Now for some Canadian (not Canadien!) perspective

Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils have it, and the Montreal Canadiens want it - the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Habs go for their third consecutive win and first place in the conference standings tonight when they host the Devils, who are just one point ahead.

Brodeur will be making his first start this season at the Bell Centre, and the stats certainly work in his favour. Quebec-born goalies are a combined 5-1 this season in Montreal, including three shutouts courtesy of Jocelyn Thibault, Dany Sabourin and Pascal Leclaire.

On top of that, the Montreal native is 9-1-0 with a 1.99 goals-against average in his last 10 starts against his hometown team. He had won nine in a row versus the Canadiens before the Jan. 24 loss.

Tomas Plekanec recorded his first career hat trick with three power-play goals as the Canadiens overtook the Ottawa Senators for the top spot in the Northeast Division. He already has a career-high 24 goals and 58 points this season.

Alexei Kovalev, who had a career-high four assists Friday, leads the club with 29 goals and 67 points. Montreal has quietly amassed 207 goals and is second in the NHL in that category behind Ottawa.

New Jersey on Friday lost for the first time in regulation since February 8. The Devils had 18 shots - including just two in the third period - as they were blanked, 4-0, by former Canadien Cristobal Huet and the Washington Capitals.

The Devils are 7-1-2 over their last 10 games.

G Martin Brodeur made his 24th consecutive start. ... The Devils visit Montreal on Saturday as they begin a stretch in which they play just one of their next eight contests at home.

Canadiens Notes(Yahoo)
C Saku Koivu has points in five of his last six games (2-4-6). ... RW Michael Ryder has points in five of his last six games (4-3-7). ... The Canadiens have won six of their last eight games. ... With the exception of a shutout against Columbus, Montreal has scored at least four goals in five of its last six contests. ... The Canadiens have the league's best power play. They have scored power-play goals in nine of their last 10 games, collecting 13 in that span. They connected on all three opportunities they had against the Sabres on Friday. ... After Saturday's home game against New Jersey, Montreal starts a four-game Western road trip in San Jose on Monday. ... The Canadiens' lineup features the most 40-point scorers of all NHL teams with seven. Only seven clubs have five players with at least 40 points.

That is awesome.


I'd like to see Clarkson mix it up with someone in the first few minutes, it might help get our boys fired up. When Rupp and Brookbank fight we don't really respond the same way we do with Clarkie. Also, I'd like to see Rachunek in the lineup for Greene. I think he would do well with Salvador along side him, it would give him a little more room to breathe and chip in offensively, because he has shown that he has some offensive prowess. Greene still has good potential but I think we need a bit more experience at the back, and Greene is the weakest link at the moment.

Also, I'd like to see us win 305325235235-0.

Devils better come out looking for blood after embarrassing themselves last night.

I'm off to go to the Bell Centre. Hope to see a good game tonight! :D

Let's get Parise firin' on a 5 on 3 PP

According to TG, Martin and Greene are out tonight, Brookbank and Rachunek are in.

Yep Martin is out with overall body soreness. Here are the defense pairings.

White-Mottau
Rachunek-Salvador
Brookbank-Oduya

That has me scared a bit.

Also Larry Robinson didn't make the trip as he has the flu.

WE GON' LOSE

If the offense can get the puck deep in the offensive zone and keep it there, we'll be fine.

SWEEEEEEEEETthe pregame is on!!!! (halls of fame: Martin Brodeur)

Devils give a better effort, but lose tonight. Can't just switch it on and off.

martin being out is huge :(

hurts us in many aspects of the game.

Theres the pregame show I like all about Brodeur.

Does anyone know if this game is in HD tonight on Comcast? It's not labeled on ch 206 on the program guide

Does anyone know if this game is in HD tonight on Comcast? It's not labeled on ch 206 on the program guide

negative.

Are you sure about that? There have been games where they were on Hd CH 206 and it was not on the program guide, hoping that happens tonight because I think the Habs have HD

Let's Go Devils!!!!!

Are you sure about that? There have been games where they were on Hd CH 206 and it was not on the program guide, hoping that happens tonight because I think the Habs have HD

I believe each broadcast provides their own HD equipment so road games unless they're against a team MSG owns the broadcast rights to or are close (philly) it's not in HD. So unless you are somewhere that gets CBC it's not in HD.

booooooooooo no Doc.

o geez no doc tonight :(

booooooooooo no Doc.

o geez no doc tonight :(

Steves better than Matt though (sorry those listening on the radio).

SCARRRRR!!

No Doc and the picture quality looks poor, I'm going to be watching the CBC broadcast of the game.

I'll flip back and forth after something big to get Chico's analysis.

Steves better than Matt though (sorry those listening on the radio).

SCARRRRR!!

you're right he is, unquestionably. But yeah....SCAAAAAAAAAORE is so bad. It's like the lion that can't roar. :biglaugh:

What about DirectTV? Is it in HD there?

atleast there wont be any "vishnovski's" today

What about DirectTV? Is it in HD there?

I don't believe Directv has HNIC in HD. Although if you in NJ the CBC feed is blacked out (I'm in Maryland and thus get both with Center Ice).

LETS GO DEVILS!! :devdance::devdance:

haha zubrus is on the 4th line tonight

This sucks, it's the year 2008, Hockey games should be in HD, Every damn Yankee game is in HD

Yea the CBC picture is much better and Steve vs Bob Cole is a wash.

White has been ****ing terrible lately. :shakehead

Is it just me, or is there always a problem with the clock when Doc doesn't do the play by play?

I am sorry sarge working with elias and langs is stupid

Why is Brylin playing with Elias and Langs? Horrible Combo

I am sorry sarge working with elias and langs is stupid

well, elias langs and parise got shutout last night

These lines are confusing me.

guys, this isnt NHL08, if **** isnt working sutter is going to switch the lines. i thought we would all know taht by now....

Elias, Langenbrunner, and Brylin have skated as a line before - specifically during "the streak."

Well a lot better start i guess

The picture looks like CRAP tonight!!

And the boys are not looking so hot....

Wow, I would have never guessed Francis Bouillon was born in NYC, thats a french canadian name if I ever saw one lol

Wow, I would have never guessed Francis Bouillon was born in NYC, thats a french canadian name if I ever saw one lol

hes black too

I like Madden, Pando, Gionta combo.

that should be a penalty shot.

Crap Mottau tripping. To the PK.

white-mottau = :shakehead

good penalty to take

Whew, I thought that was going to be a penalty shot for sure.

I would have rather had the penalty shot then the penalty.

Sutter changes up every darn thing but what should be changed up, this ridiculous White-Mottau pairing. And speed's killing them again.

I'm sorry but Sarge should never be on a top two line again except due to injury. I'd rather see Zubrus with Elias and Langs and I'm not a Zubrus fan at all.

White or Mottau needs to sit one game

moreso White

That was scary

marty "the crutch" brodeur

good PK

what a ****ing horse **** offside call that was. :rant:

just got in and wow weird lines...

That offside was Bull$%#&, watched it in slowmo, Langs had it at the Blueline

the Devils have not scored now in 111 minutes

Is it me or do the Devils swing and miss a lot at the puck.

Is it me or the the Devils swing and miss a lot at the puck.

Yeah especially since the ice looks like s***

Is Sutter serious with these lines?

Man...I love HD...awesome picture. :yo:

Is Sutter serious with these lines?

He's shuffling...goody goody

This line shifting is ridiculous

Is Sutter serious with these lines?
he wants to get shutout again :rant:

thats the only thing that i dont like about sutter, he seems to think that after every loss that we need to change the whole lineup, back in juniors he could do that because he would have players that arent to far off in skill, cant pull that off in the nhl, having brylin on a line with elias and langs :help:

Our 4th line has been our best line out there. :huh:

you guys can be serious with the whole line change thing. the last 3 games our offense has been terrible. im surprised sutter let teh lines go that long

Our 4th line has been our best line out there. :huh:

Sad :cry:

you guys can be serious with the whole line change thing. the last 3 games our offense has been terrible. im surprised sutter let teh lines go that long
yes but minor changes, like putting gionta back on with parise and elias, not the whole line up

is it just me, or has Clarkson been awful since the all-star break?

great playing now its coming.

yes but minor changes, like putting gionta back on with parise and elias, not the whole line up

why? the ENTIRE offense has been awful. hes trying to wake EVERYBODY up not just a few players

is it just me, or has Clarkson been awful since the all-star break?

I agree. He's been god awful

Devs looking real good at the end of this period.

118 Minutes

This is definitely better than last night.

A lot better then the last 3 games. KEEP IT UP DEVILS.

Considering our last 3 games, that period wasnt half bad.

At least we weren't totally dominated.

?

I thought we were the better team that period.

Considering our last 3 games, that period wasnt half bad.

At least we weren't totally dominated.

while true, it should also be considered the first was usually our better if not best period and we'd extremely slack in the 2nd. So if that's our best, we're ****ed.

?

I thought we were the better team that period.

yea i think we were in the second half

I dislike the Brylin-Elias-Langs and Parise-Zajac-Clarkson line. NOt too appealing to me.

Completely hate the lines. It is fine if he wants to change things up. But, Sergei friggin Brylin playing on the top line? Zubrus on the 4h...laughable...now that might have been good, to put ´him on the 4, if we acquired a good offensive player, but since we did not do that either....Complete junk those lines, except the Madden line...That I like

Anyone else watching Center Ice and have to listen to Don Cherry? Does anyone else think he sound like a crazy ranting old man?

You guys haven't seen line switching until you watch Marc Crawford in LA. . . .

Cherry is great. Alitte senile, but he's there for entertainment value.

If we win this game i wont even care if we lose the next two, I hate Habs fan more than any others, such cry baby whiners. Just reading like 5 posts in the GDT pisses me off, they have no respect.

Hopefull the Devils continue what they brought in the 1st but capitalize on those rebounds!

LETS GO DEVILS!!

all of them whining about how were trapping and they cant get anything going :shakehead
habs fans = :cry:

I think there is some overreaction to the lines. Except for the Rupp line in the first half of the period they haven't played bad. I like the Zajac-Parise-Clarkson as well the Pando-Madden-Gionta line. They both put up some good pressure. The other lines haven't done bad. They just need to pop one in.

You guys haven't seen line switching until you watch Marc Crawford in LA. . . .

You mean last place LA?

I know he's not fully acquainted yet, but I want to see more Salvo at this point. Let him whoop someone's ass.

Is Sutter really using a Zajac-Parise-Clarkson line? Zach back center?

**** hooking on the Devils.

fans start booing and look what happens a PP for them :shakehead:

Is Sutter really using a Zajac-Parise-Clarkson line? Zach back center?

No Zajac is I didn't list them by position.

Give a penalty to the team with the best PP in the league, smart.

They went 3 for 3 last night.

Yuck.

Shoot the Puck Elias

just take a ****ing shot, with the way we're playing trying to be pretty isn't going to help.

edit: 1-0 thanks Patty

garbage goal

Damnit

:rant: mottau sits next game :rant:

****.

As well as they played in the first they have played like **** so far in the second.

Yeah, were playing like dog right now.

What the hell was Elias thinking? Just shoot! If he had shot it, Price would have had to stop it. Then the faceoff would have been in their zone and maybe that goal wouldn't have been scored.

:rant: mottau sits next game :rant:

****.

As well as they played in the first they have played like **** so far in the second.

And as impressive Mottau played in the first half of the season he has played like **** in the second half.

Maybe I'm being too harsh but his play has dropped off.

Its ok they always give up leads :)

The Kozlov goal in the last game was Patty's fault too. Failed to get it out when he had it about two feet from the blue line along the boards.

And as impressive Mottau played in the first half of the season he has played like **** in the second half.

Maybe I'm being too harsh but his play has dropped off.

it definitely has dropped off, but I still don't think it's much worse than Colin White's. I know he has one eye right now, but he's just been awful for the most part.

you mean green's goal in the 2nd on the pp, elias was a few feet away from clearing it but failed and then the caps score :shakehead

.............

Cant agree with you there.

.............

Cant agree with you there.

such is life ;)


on the other hand, I know they've been pretty solid, but do we really expect to win this game with the 4th line playing this much? :help:

Devils look tired, and please someone shoot the ****ing puck.

refs don't like calling penalties on habs? lol

BTW at this point I hope they don't re-sign Asham. He can't handle the puck he keep fumbling it. He's this year's Rassmusen.

going exactly like last night, 0-0 first period, then they score on a pp goal in the 2nd, devils fall asleep in the 2nd and then ............

stupid habs fans :rant:

hahah, nice trip Marty. about the most exciting thing we've done in this game.

PP Devils

great we hit the post :help:
at least we got a pp :biglaugh::shakehead

OMG the actually called penalty on habs MAKE them PAY now Devils

finally a PP....not that we'll score, but maybe we can at least pick up some momentum.



oh wait no, we'll pass for 1:50 out of the 2 minutes. :shakehead

Why has Asham played more then Parise?

Man, we suck hard right now.

The forwards just look so damn lethargic.

finally a PP....not that we'll score, but maybe we can at least pick up some momentum.



oh wait no, we'll pass for 1:50 out of the 2 minutes. :shakehead

We'll make 3 quality passes then on the 4th someone will fumble the puck and the Habs will go the other way.

We need to sting 'em here.

Nevermind we fumbled it off the faceoff.

We'll make 3 quality passes then on the 4th someone will fumble the puck and the Habs will go the other way.

even better, Parise will take a penalty.

Well, so much for that.

Nice power play guys *sigh*

Parise for hooking. There goes the PP.

Are u serious there refs ahhhhhhh

Yeah, well done there Zach.

Suckage.

A goal!

what an ugly ****in goal, but i'll take it. :handclap:

Gionta!! How did that get loose?

goalllll

Gionta!!!!

Can we play the entire game 4 on 4 they seem to be the best at that.

lmao that took me by surprise WOOOOOT

About time!

Out of nowhere, the mouseman scores.

Well done Brian, at least someone can remember where the net is.

I couldnt help but think maybe gio would some how miss it. THat would just be our luck as its going lol

Gio! Score!:handclap:

About freaking time.

:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

Salvo just saved Marty's ass

YEAA at least no shutout!!

Oduya fell again but they survived.

stupid ****ing call, i don't care about the hand.

Let Them Play Refs

21 seconds to kill. They turned it on after the goal but they have to stop taking penalties.

This ice sucks...You think a Canadian teams ice would be good.

elias robbed :cry:

elias looked like a score-o contestant (except last night of course, 3/4th of their shots were an inch from going in!) he missed.

This ice sucks...You think a Canadian teams ice would be good.

:shakehead

You guys probably wouldn't care about this, but was it just me or after the Habs scored were the fans cheering "Ole"?

Anyway, great garbage goal by Gio, definitely needed him to pot one in. Although, we actually need Parise and hell anyone on this team to get going now. Price can be made to look like the rookie he is, we just have to keep pushing!!

LETS GO DEVILS!

We're doing an alright job tonight. I think our 3rd periods are usually our best, but it annoys me that we're in the Devils niche tonight. This is exactly how they wanted to contain us. It's hard not to, but I'm afriad we might be playing into their hands. God, I hate how they play hockey. Only Devils fans can enjoy this kind of game. I mean, even if I were a Devils fan and my team won I'd still consider it boring. I wouldn't care because it gets results but still. Honestly, it just bores me to tears.

Yes, Hab-a-maniac, I love every second of it.

i dont know if the ice is bad or if our players are just drunk.

Everyone is falling on there own tonight. sad

Thank god I didn't make this GDT. :sarcasm:

:cry:

ok, now i'm over it!

i love how Gio just stole the puck from Price. :handclap:

They've been doing that for a few years now.

That's weird that I haven't noticed it before. :huh:

Doesn't say in the rulebook that you can't play drunk!

wow...marty takes one off the mask and still robs the shot on the rebound. :amazed:

Again!!!!

OK CBC just showed footage from the 1997 Habs-Devils series and didn't show the Marty goal which was the signature play of the series.

U can only come out of the net so much before its going to cost u lol

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. booooooooooooooooooooooo


:cry: shaaaaaat the **** up

Sergei Brylin shouldn't be near a top line. I'm sorry.

Sergei Brylin shouldn't be near a top line. I'm sorry.

What I said 4-5 pages ago and was told y not lol............I love sarge but needs to stay with madden.

Oduya with a quietly solid game tonight (so far). Obviously he can play good hockey without Martin.

Rupp is a stupid penalty.

Taking a penalty at this point is suicide.

Does it count if we push a player into the net? lol

Rupp Is A Moron!!!!, What The Hell Was That!!!!!

Marty!!!

marty and the glove

Jeez Marty...

WOW glove save. :amazed:

Marty for ****ing Hart. This team isn't in first without him.

SUPERMAN!!!!!!!!!! again wow

Marty for ****ing Hart. This team isn't in first without him.

Another penalty. We're going to die a slow death.

*** thanks refs for giving the habs the game

Everyone should know that if your stick hits a guys hands it's gonna be called a hook....this isn't new folks. The guys have to stop trying to check with their sticks up.

For someone who doesn't PK Rupp did a pretty good job improvising.

I thought the 5 on 3 was longer. But of course I had no idea cause FSNY's PP timer isn't working tonight.:shakehead

refs score

Nice job, captain.

**** You Langenbrunner

only way it was goign to score was garbage goal

**** game, **** goal. game over.

Goal for the refs.............WAKE UP REFS and call something on the dam habs already

That goal is on Lagenbrunner. They will call hooking of the hands everytime.

Eliase selfish on that last shot...should have passed it over to the wide open D.

I'm sure no one will agree, but I think we should have pulled the goalie for that PP.

I'm sure no one will agree, but I think we should have pulled the goalie for that PP.

No I absolutely don't.

I'm sure no one will agree, but I think we should have pulled the goalie for that PP.
