Game #25 - vs Montreal Canadiens

Game 25
Canadiens (12-11-1, 25 pts) at Penguins (16-8-0, 32 pts)


Mellon Arena - Pittsburgh

Why does it matter?
It's the Canadiens. Their fans are annoying (though enthusiastic - you have to give them that). Do you need a better reason?

What has been happening lately?

• Pens - They've won four out of five very quietly. The power play has goals in four straight. Maybe a nice run coming on?
  
• Canadiens - The Habs have won three of their past four and Carey Price is playing much better than earlier in the year.
  

Questions to be answered

• Is the power play getting better? With goals in four straight, you might think so, but I'm not so sure.
  
• Can Carey Price stay hot?
  
• Can the Habs keep winning despite badly out shot as they have been recently?
  

Keys to the game

• Score early and put pressure on Price.
  
• Pick on Mara when he's on the ice. Paul is a -8 on the season.
