CH: a second game in two nights against the Penguins

After a 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabers on Wednesday, the Montreal Canadiens are back on track against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.

Martin St-Louis' troops will try to avoid a fourth defeat in a row. The Penguins aren't doing much better, having lost their last two games and practically forgetting about the playoffs either.

See Martin St-Louis' pre-game comments above.

There are a lot of rumors surrounding the Pennsylvania team right now as the trade deadline approaches.

Cayden Primeau will get a rare start in net for the Canadiens, while Tristan Jarry will be the Penguins' go-to guy.

Forward Cole Caufield will be looking to bounce back after a very poor night against the Sabres. Among other things, Caufield was the cause of a ball loss that led directly to Alex Tuch's goal.

After their visit to Pittsburgh, the Habs travel to Newark where they will face the New Jersey Devils on Saturday afternoon.
