GAME DAY | Lightning – Canadiens: Preview, Lines, Goalies, TV

Rick Stephens
Pre-game Notes and Quotes
  • Carey Price will be back in goal after Al Montoya picked up a win in Brooklyn against the Islanders.
  • Shea Weber leads the league with a plus-12 rating in seven games.
  • Lightning head coach Jon Cooper, “Both teams have a presence in the net and you work out from there. They’ve got a Weber, and we have a Hedman. They’ve got a Pacioretty, we’ve got a Stamkos. You can go through the whole team, and both teams, I think, bring a lot to the table, and that’s probably why they’re both at the top of the standings and going to have a go at each for a good one tonight.”
