KEY GAME INFORMATION
COLUMBUS: LAST SEASON: 34-40-8, 76 points. Last in the Metropolitan Division, missed the playoffs.
COACH: John Tortorella, second year, 34-32-8
ADDED: C Sam Gagner, D Scott Harrington, LW Pierre-Luc Dubois.
LOST: RW Rene Bourque, RW Jared Boll, D Fedor Tyutin, D Justin Falk, LW Kerby Rychel.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Brandon Saad. Acquired in a trade with Chicago before last season, the 23-year-old Saad scored 31 goals and added 22 assists for 53 points, all career highs. He and center Boone Jenner were among the few bright spots in the team's dismal season last year. That pair, along with right wing Cam Atkinson will make a potent first line.
OUTLOOK: Columbus made no blockbuster deals in the off-season, meaning it is starting the season with the same group of players that made it one of the NHL's sad sacks last year. But team president John Davidson believes his players will perform up to their potential under Tortorella, who replaced Todd Richards after seven games last season. He's also ready to tap into the talented pool of players that helped the Lake Erie Monsters win the AHL's Calder Cup. A fully healthy Sergei Bobrovsky in the net will be a huge boost. Still, everything will have to click just right to get the Blue Jackets to the playoffs.
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.
PREVIEW
Canadiens, Blue Jackets on rolls heading into matchup

MONTREAL -- For the first time in 51 days, the Montreal Canadiens have won consecutive games. Now they'll look to go streaking.

After turning a 3-1 third-period deficit into a 4-3 overtime win against the New Jersey Devils on Monday, the Canadiens have a chance to add to their slim Atlantic Division lead when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.

Monday's victory combined with an Ottawa Senators loss allowed Montreal to add a touch of distance between their nearest pursuant, with four points separating the two clubs.

While the Canadiens have struggled offensively, there has been one constant: Max Pacioretty. The Habs captain has 13 points in 12 games in February after scoring a pair of goals -- including the tying tally -- against New Jersey. His 31 goals trail only Sidney Crosby and his six multi-goal games are one back of Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand's total.

"I told him that if you lead by example, you're going to be respected by all your teammates and that's the kind of leadership I could live with and appreciate," coach Claude Julien said of Pacioretty, who hit the 30-goal mark for the fourth straight season and the fifth time in his nine-year career. "That's exactly what he's doing. He's leading by example and we need that from him. He's done a great job."

The Canadiens could use offense from others not named Pacioretty and perhaps might be seeing a turnaround from Alex Galchenyuk. The 23-year-old struggled in his return from a knee injury but has now scored in consecutive games for the first time since mid-November.

"I feel much better these last two games. I've found my rhythm," he told reporters after the game.

The Columbus Blue Jackets arrive in Montreal appearing to have found their rhythm as well of late. While most teams have struggled coming out of the bye week, John Tortorella's squad returned with a bang, following up a 7-0 pasting of the New York Islanders on Saturday with a 5-2 decision over the New York Rangers on Sunday.

"Coming off a break, and playing six periods like we have ... you need to feel good about your team, and I do," Tortorella told the Columbus Dispatch. "We talked a lot about that five-day break, about wetting our pants, about 'what are we gonna look like?' We've probably played six of our best periods of the year."

The Blue Jackets are hoping that translates into a three-game winning streak, something the club hasn't experienced since its franchise record 16-game win streak. But the wins have been coming recently, with four in their last five games.

Fourteen different players recorded points in Columbus' last two games and seven players scored at least once. That includes Cam Atkinson, who is one goal shy of hitting the 30-goal mark for the first time in his career and, with 53 points, is one shy of setting a personal best.

It's the third and final regular-season meeting between the two teams and Columbus' lone visit to Montreal. The Blue Jackets have won both games so far but will be facing Carey Price for the first time.
