WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The slumping Montreal Canadiens take on the surging Winnipeg Jets in an all-Canadian battle Saturday night at Bell MTS Place.
Montreal comes to town with a 4-8-1 record and without their No. 1 goalie. Carey Price suffered what the team is describing as a minor lower-body injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss in Minnesota. He is listed as day-to-day.
Al Montoya will get the start in goal against his former team. He spent the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons with the Jets in a back-up role.
"I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed," Montreal coach Claude Julien told the Montreal Gazette following his team's latest poor outing Thursday night.
