Price surrendered three goals on 24 shots in the Canadiens win over the Oilers on Sunday. Price has been on-fire as of late, winning five straight starts while posting an impressive 1.39 GAA, .957 SV% and one shutout. He has been excellent and has the best matchup possible tonight. Anaheim played in Toronto last night, rank last in the NHL in goals/per game and have lost 16 of their last 18 (2-12-4).
Price will not be available for Saturday’s game vs. the Devils, so Michael McNiven has been recalled from Laval (AHL) to backup Antti Niemi. This one-game suspension isn’t a big deal considering the Habs have a back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday and Niemi likely would have started one of the games regardless. Price will face the Oilers on Sunday.
White has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury but will play Friday in Pittsburgh. White, who has 11 goals and 15 assists (26 points) in 44 games, will centre the second-line with Brady Tkachuk and Mark Stone on his wings.

Price allowed one goal on 35 shots in the Canadiens win in Columbus last Friday. Price has been exceptional in his last three outings, going 3-0-0 while stopping 103 of the 106 shots that he has faced (.972 SV%). Tonight he draws an excellent matchup vs. a hot but banged up Coyotes team that is on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Skinner missed Thursday’s practice and will be a game-time decision for Friday’s game in Vancouver. This would be a huge loss for the Sabres, Skinner leads the team in goals (30) and sits second in points (44).
Nedeljkovic has gone 20-5-0 with a 2.68 GAA and .903 SV% in 30 games with the Checkers this season. With Curtis McElhinney dealing with a knee injury, Nedeljkovic will back Mrazek up on Friday.

Brossoit has been extremely impressive this season and comes into Tuesday’s game on a six-game personal winning streak, posting a 2.47 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout over that span. Despite playing very well, Brossoit has the tough task of facing a Vegas team that has won eight of their last nine.
