SABRES (14-33-3) at CANADIENS (32-14-3)
TV: MSG-B, BELL TV, RDS, SNE
Season series: The Buffalo Sabres have won two of three games against the Montreal Canadiens this season. All three have been one-goal games with two going to a shootout. The Sabres won the only game in Montreal, with Brian Flynn scoring late in the third period to tie the game and then scoring the only goal in the shootout in a 4-3 Sabres victory.
Sabres team scope: Last season Cody Hodgson led Buffalo with 44 points and was second with 20 goals, but this season he's slumped badly; he has three points in 19 games and no goals in 20. Coach Ted Nolan made him a healthy scratch Friday at the Vancouver Canucks. "The words I got were I'm out before the game," Hodgson told the Buffalo News on Monday. "Obviously it's not my decision. You want to play and you want to play as well as you can." Hodgson will be in the lineup Tuesday and Nolan hopes the one game off can help Hodgson rediscover his scoring touch. "Cody's one of those guys that he has some skill and he has some ability to put the puck in the net," Nolan told the Buffalo News. "Unfortunately it's not working. We have to find a way to get it out of him. Maybe by sitting him out and getting him angry, maybe that will work."
Canadiens team scope: The players had the day off Monday but Carey Price's name remained in the news. He was named the First Star of the Week by the NHL; Price went 3-0-0 with a 0.66 goals-against average, .980 save percentage and two shutouts in four games. Included in his run were back-to-back 1-0 shutouts, Jan. 29 against the New York Rangers and Jan. 31 against the Washington Capitals. Price also won the Molson Cup for January, awarded by the Canadiens to the best player of the month. It's the fourth straight month Price has won the award this season. In nine January games he went 7-1-1 with a 1.53 GAA and .951 save percentage. Price enters Tuesday with a personal shutout streak of 152:54. The Canadiens have four goals in their past two games, two by Max Pacioretty and two by Alex Galchenyuk. Forward Jacob De La Rose was called up from Hamilton of the American Hockey League. De La Rose, 19, is expected to join the Canadiens for the morning skate Tuesday.
