The Montreal Canadiens held their morning skate prior to their game against the Ottawa Senators and it looks like Al Montoya will be getting the start tonight.
Si on se fie à l’entraînement matinal du CH, on dirait bien qu’ Al Montoya affrontera les Sens ce soir à Ottawa. #RDS

This would be Montoya’s second start of the season. He previously started the game in Los Angeles against the Kings. Montoya also played in relief in the loss to the Washington Capitals.
As for the skaters, there were no changes from their win against the New York Rangers on Saturday.

That means that Jacob de la Rose and Joe Morrow will be healthy scratches, and Nikita Scherbak remains out with a lower body injury.
The Canadiens have won two of their last three games, and will look to make it three in four against the Senators tonight. After tonight, the Canadiens do not play again until Thursday night in Minnesota.
