| | | MONTREAL: MONTREAL CANADIENS
LAST SEASON: 50-22-10, 110 points. Won Atlantic Division. Lost
to Tampa Bay Lightning in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Michel Therrien, 11th NHL season,
ADDED: D Mark Barberio, RW Zack Kassian, RW Alex Semin.
LOST: D Sergei Gonchar, C Manny Malhotra, RW P.A. Parenteau, LW
Brandon Prust, D Mike Weaver.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Semin. Despite finishing a mere three
points behind the New York Rangers for the Presidents' Trophy,
Montreal was not an offensive powerhouse in 2014-15. The
Canadiens finished last season having scored 214 goals, an
average of 2.61 per game, and their power play ranked 23rd in
the NHL. Semin, signed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract will
be asked to do more in Montreal after scoring just six goals in
57 games last season with Carolina.
OUTLOOK: Montreal and its deep roster with standout goaltender
Carey Price should make another run in the playoffs - maybe even
a deep run. All Price accomplished in 2014-15 was to lead the
NHL in save percentage (.933), goals-against average (1.96) and
wins (44), earning the Hart Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award, Vezina
Trophy and Jennings Trophy in the process. | | NEW JERSEY: LAST SEASON: 32-36-14, 78 points. Failed to make the playoffs
for a third straight year.
COACH: John Hynes (first NHL season)
ADDED: C Kyle Palmieri, C Pavel Zacha, RW Lee Stempniak, C
Sergey Kalinin, D John Moore, C Jiri Tlusty.
LOST: General manager Lou Lamoriello, F Steve Bernier, F Scott
Gomez, F Michael Ryder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Adam Henrique: At age 25, Henrique is no longer
the young kid. He's become the face of the Devils' franchise and
a team leader. He was the team's leading scorer with a paltry 43
points. He's coming off wrist surgery, but says he's fine.
Whether that means he's ready to gain All-Star status is another
thing.
OUTLOOK: The Devils cleaned out the Lamoriello era and brought
in Ray Shero to be the general manager and an unproven Hynes to
be the head coach. However, they really didn't do much to their
roster, especially in terms of finding a goal scorer or two.
Mike Cammalleri's 27 goals were nice last year, but there were
too many times that the team depended on goalkeeper Cory
Schneider to keep them in games. Hynes said that his new
philosophy will lead to more scoring chances, but that remains
to be seen. Even he admits it's "a work in progress." But this
doesn't have the look and feel of a playoff team. The Devils
will likely make it four straight years without a playoff
appearance, an unfathomable idea for a franchise that went to
the playoffs 16 straight years. |
| | Canadiens-Devils Preview By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
The Montreal Canadiens are back to their winning ways and Carey Price is again dealing with a nagging lower-body injury. Though it's uncertain how much time their star goaltender could miss, Price won't be in net when the visiting Canadiens try for a fourth straight victory Friday night in the opener of a home-and-home series with the New Jersey Devils. Playing his third game since missing nine in a row, Price left after two periods when he re-aggravated that injury in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the New York Rangers. His right leg appeared to bend awkwardly at one point in the second. "He tweaked it again," coach Michel Therrien said. "That's why we don't want to take any chance. It's still early in the season, so it's important for us when he plays, he's got to make sure he is healthy.'' The reigning Vezina Trophy winner, who ranks third in the league with a .934 save percentage and sixth with a 2.06 goals-against average, was not expected to start this contest. He also could sit Saturday's rematch at home. Rookie backup Mike Condon stopped all 11 shots Wednesday. "It's next guy up," captain Max Pacioretty told the NHL's official website. "You never want to see that happen, especially with Carey, our best player, but (Condon) did a great job in relief." Condon, who started each game while Montreal (17-4-2) went 5-2-2 without Price, posted a 1.57 GAA while winning six of his first seven starts this season but is 1-2-1 with a 3.45 GAA as a starter since. "Have a short memory, focus on the things that matter," Condon said. "It doesn't matter about the game you played before, it just matters about being in the moment. Whether it's a bad goal or a nice save, you've got to move on to the next one because there's a lot of games to be played." With the most points in the NHL, the Canadiens should feel confident no matter who is on the ice. Montreal has totaled 14 goals while beating the Rangers and New York Islanders twice in the last three games. Pacioretty's scored four times in the last five contests and has five goals with six assists in the last 11. He had a goal and two assists while Montreal went 2-0-1 against New Jersey last season. The Devils (11-9-1) have scored seven goals and averaged 22.5 shots while losing three of four. New Jersey recorded all but four of its 28 shots after the first period Wednesday but managed only Adam Henrique's team-leading 10th goal in a 2-1 loss to Columbus. New Jersey's run of a power-play goal in five straight games ended. Montreal has killed 14 of 15 penalties during a 3-0-1 road stretch. "We've got to bring our best game," said Henrique, who failed to record a point in those three meetings with Montreal last season. Teammate Patrik Elias didn't have a point but logged almost 15 minutes of ice time Wednesday in his return from missing the first 20 games with a knee injury. "He looked good, quick, and I thought he was really smart the way he managed his shifts," coach John Hynes said of the 39-year-old Elias. "He had a good work ethic." |
