Game preview: Canadiens vs. Coyotes

Here’s an excerpt from Canadiens.com’s game preview of the Coyotes/Canadiens game:

Alex Tanguay is still adjusting to being with the Montreal Canadiens. But the veteran winger seems to be a perfect fit, at least given the amount of success he’s had against the Phoenix Coyotes.

After getting a shootout winner from Tanguay in their home opener, the Canadiens look to continue their dominance of the Coyotes as the teams meet Saturday night.

Tanguay, acquired from Calgary in a draft-day trade in June, scored the last goal in a 4-3 shootout victory over Boston on Wednesday night in Montreal’s first home game in its 100th season.

He has one goal and three assists for the Canadiens (3-0-1), all of which came in a 6-1 win over Toronto last Saturday night. After six seasons with Colorado and two with the Flames, Tanguay is doing his best to jell with his teammates.

“You know, I’m nervous, I’m still nervous, still trying to find my way with the team, trying to get my momentum and trying to get in the groove,” Tanguay said.
