Another early season rematch.

The Habs won't be holding a morning skate on Sunday. Goaltender Keith Kinkaid is expected to make his second start of the season. His previous outing came on October 9 in Buffalo when he surrendered five goals on 39 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Sabres. Julien will meet the media at 2:45 p.m. ET at the Xcel Energy Center to officially confirm his lineup. It remains to be seen if forward Joel Armia will be good to go after suffering a lower-body injury during the pre-game warmup in St. Louis. Weal took his spot up front. Likewise, defenseman Cale Fleury is doubtful with a minor injury and is listed as day-to-day. He was replaced by Christian Folin against the Blues.

Finally a game I get to watch all of.

Hope they do not take this game as easy one and get behind quickly. My prediction yesterday was close. So I better keep making them. Byron will get his first of the year today.

I got 3 out of 4 yesterday as well so I have a couple of predictions

1. I agree Byron scores

2. We move ahead of Toronto and tie Boston in the standings

3. Byron gets traded before the next game for a LHD.  Hopefully a top pairing one not another depth or long term project.

[campabee82]

Kind of a weird start time today hopefully we come out strong and keep our foot on the gas.

[campabee82]

Also hoping the Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Suzuki trio not only start the game together but also get the ice time they earn cause lately they have been the best line but have had the least ice time.

My guess is that we'll see Dooby in nets.

Bold prediction, is a hatty for someone on our team, I had to be specific.

Like the start and the 1-9-1 record against Dubnyk. We are far over due against him.

[H_T_L]

Looking for a stronger game from Domi today. He was a little flat yesterday

[H_T_L]

Minny team smelling blood. They're off to a much better start.

[Habberwacky]

Weber streaking in needs to finish.

[Habberwacky]

First Ek and now Hartman. Weber the Wild killer

Looks like Hartman will be ok though but Ek is out a week

[HabsAlways]

I'm liking Cousins as one of our 4th liners

Getting his shots blocked quite a bit this season. Players don't seem as intimidated about getting in front of that blast.

Now if Weal was only moved back and Suzuki up
