The Montreal Canadiens were on the ice to prepare for the second match of their six-game homestand. Claude Julien made a few lineup shifts for tonight’s game against the Detroit Red Wings.
Al Montoya seems destined to get the start, seeing as Price is coming off back-to-back wins this weekend versus the Senators.
Il faut s’attendre à voir Al Montoya ce soir.

.@DailyFaceoff Montoya just left the ice and Price is doing power play practice so it’s looking like the former will start.
