KEY GAME INFORMATION
MONTREAL: LAST SEASON: 46-28-8, 100 points; lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference final.
COACH: Michel Therrien, seventh season with Canadiens, 287-224-23-58.
ADDED: D Tom Gilbert, C Manny Malhotra, RW P.A. Parenteau, RW Jiri Sekac.
LOST: C Daniel Briere, RW Brian Gionta, D Josh Gorges, LW Thomas Vanek.
PLAYER TO WATCH: P.K. Subban: The 43rd overall pick in the 2007 draft solidified his status as a top-five defenseman in the NHL following a 2013-14 regular season in which he recorded 53 points (10 goals, 43 assists) in 82 games, and added another 11 (five goals and six assists) in 17 playoff games. And he isn't going anywhere. The Canadiens and Subban agreed to an eight-year, $72 million contract in the offseason.
OUTLOOK: The Canadiens earned the ire of playoff foes Boston and New York for on-ice antics and their off-ice loquaciousness. But teams don't dislike opponents who aren't good. The Canadiens are just that, and should find themselves in the playoffs come April.
SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a ''tomorrow'' team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau.

*Canadiens-Sharks Preview* ==========================

By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer

Montreal (41-16-5) at San Jose (30-25-8), 10:00 p.m. EDT

In danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in 11 seasons, the San Jose Sharks can help their cause by finding a way to win at home.

Though they haven't lost to the Montreal Canadiens there in more than 15 years, the Sharks must halt the Eastern Conference leaders' four-game winning streak in order to avoid matching a club record with a ninth consecutive home defeat Monday night.

San Jose's run of 10 straight postseason appearances is second only to Detroit's 23, but a 3-8-2 performance in February has left the Sharks (30-25-8) on the outside of playoff position in the West.

"Time's ticking away here," forward Tommy Wingels told the NHL's official website. "Every game we lose is two points down the drain."

San Jose has dropped three straight - all at home - and hasn't lost nine in a row there since its second NHL season in 1992-93. The Sharks have totaled five goals in those three losses and scored two or fewer in five of their previous six at home.

Perhaps more frustrating is that San Jose led after two periods in each of the last two. It managed seven shots while allowing three goals in the final 20 minutes of Saturday's 4-2 loss to Ottawa.

"When you get up on a team you have to pile it on," said Wingels, who scored his second goal in four games. "I don't know if it's the killer instinct we lack or if we don't know how to play with a lead. It's frustrating."

Teammate Antti Niemi was in net for both shutout victories over Montreal last season, but has a 3.49 goals-against average while starting every game during the 0-6-2 home skid. He hasn't been helped much by a penalty-kill unit that's allowed the last seven home opponents to go 6 for 20 on the power play.

"We have to figure out how to play better," coach Todd McLellan said. "Going in and having another pow-wow. It's getting old."

Though San Jose has won three straight overall and seven consecutive at home against Montreal since a 3-2 overtime loss there Nov. 23, 1999, its confidence on any ice appears fragile.

That likely won't bode well against these Canadiens (41-16-5), who own a 17-5 goal advantage during their four-game winning streak and have won 11 of 13 on the road.

"We've been spending more time in the offensive zone recently. That's been key for us," former Shark Manny Malhotra told the Canadiens' official website after he scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Toronto.

"Hopefully we can keep it up."

Montreal has been able to play more aggressively on offense because of the strong play of goalie Carey Price, who made 30 saves while recording his sixth shutout Saturday.

Price has a 1.18 GAA and .956 save percentage during a 9-0-1 stretch. He also could extend his franchise-record, 10-game road win streak during which he's posted a 1.20 GAA. Price hasn't played at San Jose since December 2011, but is 0-2-1 with a 3.95 GAA there.

The defense in front of Price got a boast with Montreal acquiring Jeff Petry from Edmonton for draft picks.

The defenseman had been the subject of trade talk for several weeks. He said in an interview in Toronto last month that he's playing for a "contract moving forward" and wants to show he's a "guy that's going to bring intensity and bring my game day in and day out."

The only other time the Sharks shut out the same opponent in three consecutive games was against the Coyotes in 2007-08. Montreal hasn't been blanked in three straight by one team since Washington did it over the 2010-11 and '11-12 seasons.
