| Tuesday NHL Preview: Pittsburgh vs. Montreal |
For all of the latest odds in the NHL, check out Bet Phoenix the top rated online sportsbook to bet on hockey. This is the fourth and final meeting between the clubs this season. The Penguins have won all three so far, but just once in regulation. They beat the Habs, 3-1, on Oct. 20 at Consol Energy Center. Pittsburgh won 4-3 in overtime on Nov. 26 in Montreal and 5-4 in a shootout on Jan. 20 in Pittsburgh. The Canadiens let two-goal leads slip away in the latter two games. The Canadiens will be trying to salvage some points out of the season series with the Penguins while also attempting to climb back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Penguins just want to erase the memory of Sunday's 5-2 loss at New Jersey with a strong showing in the final game of a four-game road trip. Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to get the start. He won nine starts in a row prior to Sunday, when he was pulled 2:28 into the second period after giving up his third goal on 12 shots. Fleury has played in all three games against the Canadiens this season. However, he has just a 3.36 goals-against average at Bell Centre. Tyler Kennedy returned to Pittsburgh after suffering a lower-body injury in Sunday's loss to the Devils. Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Monday from Montreal that Kennedy is being evaluated and more will be known within the next day or two. Sidney Crosby, Jordan Staal and Simon Despres all participated in practice on Monday in Montreal, but none are ready to play as of yet. Crosby said he's still experiencing concussion-like symptoms, but it was his first practice with the team. Bylsma said Staal and Despres are still at least a week to 10 days away from returning from their respective knee injuries. Trade rumors are starting to swirl around the Canadiens. The latest has injured forward Travis Moen linked with San Jose. Moen, who won a Stanley Cup with the Ducks in 2007, has been on injured reserve with an upper-body injury since Jan. 21, but the Montreal Gazette speculated Monday that he could return for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh. The Canadiens did not practice Monday, but made some roster moves by sending Aaron Palushaj and Ryan White to Hamilton of the AHL. If trade rumors don’t tear this team apart it could make them stronger as they host Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.
