Domi bobblehead night at the Bell

[H_T_L]

Not expecting any lineup changes up front or on D.  Niemi most likely gets the start, however,, with no games scheduled until next Wed. there's a possibility CJ goes with Price B2B. Stay tuned.

We're still waiting on confirmation on Philadelphia's starting goalie against the Habs, but Carter Hart has been enjoying a hot start to his NHL career. The second-round pick (48th overall) in 2016 has a 5-5-1 record, 2.72 goals-against average, and .915 save percentage, and it was Hart who was in nets for those two most recent Flyers wins.

I wonder if Hudon gets his shot vs. the Flyers as Peca got his last night. I think Hudon may be the more physical of the two.

No letdown please Habs.

Changes for tonight,,,,,

A few hours before puck drop, head coach Claude Julien announced that forward Charles Hudon would draw into the lineup in Matthew Peca's place, and that goaltender Antti Niemi would get the start in nets.

[H_T_L]

Watched some of the Flyers last game. They are hot and hungry right now. I think we may need another stellar game in the net to get by these guys. Pedal to the metal hockey needed.

Niemi gets the start.

Would love to see that.

[H_T_L]

Nobody predicting a huge shot night against  Niemi.. That's surprising.

[H_T_L]

All those zebras on the ice and i'd bet they'd still miss half the crap that goes on in a game.

Haha, this feels like a trap game.  On paper, against one of the worst teams in the conference.  Yet their playing style against the Habs may pose a challenge.
