Habs are on a 5-game losing streak, with the last two losses coming in a shootout.
Jake Allen will be in nets for this one.
Jordan Harris and Christian Dvorak were both not playing in the Rangers' tilt, due to LBIs.
What else is new? The story of this season, continues.
Or, if you prefer ...
This will be the third and final game between the Devils and the Habs this season, with each team having won one.
Noticeable sparks while the team is hobbling on the injury front have been the dynamic AHL guys, RHP and Belzile.
RHP has been relentless, true to his play from his time in Laval. He's become "Spinach" to a lot of fans but also, "HP" or "The Sauce". He'll be the perfectcondiment complement on an energy line when everyone comes back healthy next season or who knows, maybe more.
Belzile at age 31, won't get that many more opportunities to prove that he can be a viable NHLer and has been showing his wares since his call up from Laval, where he had posted 14 goals and 12 assists in 31 games. Now with the Habs, he has totaled 10 points in 19 games.
Prior to this Habs' stint, Belzile had only played 13 other NHL games. You get the sense that he's enjoying every moment.
He even exhibited a confident 3-step celebratory routine after scoring a goal.
There's the stick tap to his thigh, followed by a glove pump and as he's high-fiving his teammates on the bench, there's a head bob thrown in for good measure.
He's tallied 4 points in his last 3 games. Can't help but root for this guy.
Finally, for those of you watching the game on Sportsnet tonight, I understand you may have to put up with Humphrey Bogart in the broadcast booth. Good luck with that.
