CANADIENS (37-21-8) @ CANUCKS (28-30-7)

TV: SNP, SNE, RDS

10:00pm

The Canadiens are hoping to keep their win streak alive on Tuesday against the Canucks.

Claude Julien's troops are hunting for a sixth-consecutive victory after beating the Rangers 4-1 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

Saturday's winning netminder, Carey Price, was named the NHL's third star of the week on Monday. The five-time All-Star will be back between the pipes in his home province against Vancouver. The 29-year-old puck stopper has a 3-2-1 record in seven career starts against the Canucks.

The Habs will be looking for their first win at Rogers Arena since October 2013, having lost their previous two games in British Columbia.

After missing Saturday's game with a lower body injury, Alexander Radulov was absent from practice again on Monday morning and will miss a second-straight game on Tuesday night.

Acquired at the trade deadline from Edmonton, Brandon Davidson could make his Canadiens debut on Tuesday. During Monday's practice, the 25-year-old blue-liner was skating alongside Jeff Petry in place of Alexei Emelin.

The Canucks are currently sitting six points out of a wild card berth in the Western Conference playoff hunt. Willie Desjardins' squad has won just four of its last 10 games, including a 2-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.

Third-year NHLer Bo Horvat leads the Canucks with 45 points through 53 games so far this season. The 21-year-old centerman is on a hot streak, having posted 11 points in his last 10 games.

For his part, Alex Galchenyuk will look to register at least one point for a sixth-consecutive game, having now racked up seven points - including three goals - in his team's last five wins.

Ugg,,,, 10:00 start. Likely going to watch this one from a prone position. On top of that it's blacked out,  so snail feed.

Same here,,,,, except for the "prone position" part. 

Seems that Rad will miss another one, and Pleks is a game time decision.

Price starts.

Radulov still out.

Pleks scratched.

Emelin is also scratched. Davidson is in. 

Projected lines:

With Radulov and Plekanec missing, here’s how the lines looked at practice:

Pacioretty – Danault – Gallagher
Lehkonen – Galchenyuk – King
Byron – Mitchell – Shaw
Martinsen – Ott – Flynn
McCarron

The two power-play units looked like this:

Pacioretty – Danault – Gallagher
Markov – Weber

Lehkonen – Shaw – Galchenyuk
Petry – Beaulieu
