kinot-1 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 1:00 PM RDS, NHLN-US, SN, TSN, CSN-DC, Radio 690. EARLY GAME PEEPS THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS ROLL INTO TOWN TO TAKE ON OUR Price leads the way: The Canadiens have a four-game winning streak thanks to goalie Carey Price, who has allowed only seven goals during that span and is coming off a 1-0 shutout win in New York Thursday night against the Rangers. Price ranks fourth in the NHL with a 2.09 goals-against average and third with a .931 save percentage. As a team, the Canadiens are the NHL’s stingiest, allowing only 2.28 goals per game. Coach Michel Therrien confirmed after Friday’s practice that Price will start against the Capitals. Sputtering offence: Therrien, who kept his forward lines intact at Friday’s practice, takes delight in 1-0 wins, but Montreal could use a little more offence. Max Pacioretty’s team-leading 22nd goal was the only one in New York. The Canadiens rank 22nd in the league in goals per game (2.60) and power-play efficiency (16.8 per cent). Ovie on top: Alexander Ovechkin scored twice in the Capitals’ 4-0 win over Pittsburgh Wednesday night and he’s the leading goal-scorer in the NHL with 29. He also leads the league with 13 power-play goals, which is the main reason the Capitals have the third-best power play in the NHL with a 24.1 per cent success rate. That will present a challenge for the Canadiens’ penalty-killing unit, which ranks fifth with an 84.9 per cent success rate. One of the beneficiaries of Ovechkin’s success has been Nicklas Backstrom, who leads the Capitals with 50 points, including 35 assists. While Price continues to be one of the top goaltenders in the NHL, Washington’s Braden Holtby is quietly having a career season. Holtby ranks seventh in both goals-against average (2.26) and save percentage (. 922). He’s also No. 2 in the league with five shutouts.

kinot-1 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 This year will mark the 24th time in team history that the Canadiens will be playing back-to-back afternoon tilts on Super Bowl weekend. The Habs boast an 11-8-3-1 record on Saturdays during the NFL's top weekend. Boast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
