| | | COLORADO: LAST SEASON: 39-39-4, 82 points. Didn't make the playoffs.
COACH: Jared Bednar (first season, first NHL season).
ADDED: C Joe Colborne, D Fedor Tyutin, D Patrick Wiercioch.
LOST: F Mikkel Boedker, F Shawn Matthias, F Jack Skille, D Zach Redmond, D Nick Holden, G Reto Berra.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Nathan MacKinnon. The 20-year-old speedster recently signed a $44.1 million, seven-year deal that runs through the 2022-23 season. He had 21 goals and 31 assists last season, but missed the last 10 games after he sprained a ligament in his knee. MacKinnon also sat out the final 18 games the year before because of a broken foot. He's coming off a good showing at the World Cup of Hockey, scoring two goals for Team North America. He should fit in well with Bednar's up-tempo style. | | MONTREAL: LAST SEASON: 38-38-6, 82 points. Finished sixth in Atlantic Division.
COACH: Michel Therrien (fifth season, 12th NHL season).
ADDED: D Shea Weber, RW Alexander Radulov, F Andrew Shaw, G Al Montoya
LOST: D P.K. Subban, C Lars Eller.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Carey Price. The 2015 Hart, Vezina and Pearson Trophy winner is back after missing almost all of last season with a knee injury and has the ability to carry the Canadiens back to the playoffs. He looked like his old self helping Canada to a perfect record at the World Cup of Hockey and could be even better than two years ago.
OUTLOOK: If Price is on top of his game and Weber strengthens Montreal's defense, this is a playoff team again. Goal-scoring continues to be an issue, but captain Max Pacioretty and center Tomas Plekanec should lead the way and Radulov is on a prove-it contract to produce and prove he deserves big money back in the NHL. |
| | Landeskog set to return when Avs visit Canadiens
MONTREAL -- While the Montreal Canadiens are dealing with a sudden rash of injuries, the Colorado Avalanche could be getting a key member of their lineup back when the two clubs square off on Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog missed his team's past 10 games with a lower-body injury. On Friday, he was a full participant in Colorado's practice at the Canadiens' suburban practice facility and felt ready to return to game action. "Everything is feeling good," he told the Avalanche website. "I've had some good practices and morning skates and some tests on where things have been going well, and I'm feeling good." First-year head coach Jared Bednar said he "should be able to play." It's been a disappointing early season for the Avalanche (10-14-1), whose 21 points not only rank last in the Central Division but also ties the Arizona Coyotes for fewest in the NHL overall. Colorado is hoping to build some momentum off their most recent outing, a 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, which snapped a six-game slide. The road has been a bit kinder than the altitude of the Rockies this season. The Avalanche is 6-6-0 at the opposition compared to a 4-8-1 record on home ice. A big part of that has been Matt Duchene's apparent comfort in other teams' buildings. Duchene scored his team-leading 10th goal in Thursday's win. Every one of his tallies has come on the road. "I can't score at home, but we're on the road," he told the Denver Post with a smirk. "I don't know what it is." The Canadiens (18-6-3) are coming off a big win of their own, disposing of the New Jersey Devils 5-2 despite losing three players to injury in less than a week. Without offensive centers Alex Galchenyuk and David Desharnais, and defenseman Greg Pateryn, the rest of the lineup picked up the slack to carry the team to victory. Torrey Mitchell scored twice, becoming only the second Canadiens player this season to notch a pair in a home game. He was one of four players to record a multi-point game, along with Phillip Danault, Andrew Shaw, and Brendan Gallagher. "We want to show that we're about more than two players," Mitchell said after the game. "(Galchenyuk and Desharnais) are two important players for us that are injured but we have players that are capable of stepping up. We saw that (on Thursday night)." While Montreal's offense came together, its special teams could use some improvement. After allowing a power-play goal against the Devils, the Canadiens' shorthanded unit has now yielded at least one power-play goal in six of their past nine games, and ranks in the bottom half of the NHL in penalty-killing percentage. While the power play is enjoying greater success than in year's past and continues to rank among the top teams in the league, it hit a dry spell of late. The Canadiens connected just three times in 22 opportunities over their past seven games, and were held off entirely in five of those seven outings. Calvin Pickard will get the start for the Avalanche while Carey Price is expected to get the nod in net for Montreal. |
