With the six-game road trip that the Canadiens just finished, they haven’t played at home since December 18th; that was a 3-2 loss to Florida. The Habs are 1-5-2 in their last 8 games at home and, while we remain strong on the road, the Bell Centre streak doesn’t seem to be improving.
Montreal faces Tampa Bay at home on Thursday night. The Lightning have lost 8 of their past 9 games and the Habs are 1-0-1 against them this season. After obtaining 8 of 12 possible points on the road trip, Montreal is flying on a high note right now.
Huet looks to be getting the start (I expect Price will go up against Washington on Saturday night – rumour has it that they will be starting their second line goalie as well) and, while he hasn’t exactly been on fire, he has been solid for the most part in the past few games.
I personally predict a 4-2 Canadiens win
