Canadiens 22-10-6, 50 pts
Rangers 24-14-3, 51 pts
The Habs come into town without their starting goaltender, as Carey Price is still out with a mysterious injury. Then again, every injury is mysterious, we just know it's either the lower or upper body. They will have Jaroslav Halak in net, much to the dismay of the diehard Canadien fans. Halak comes off an outing which he allowed 5 goals vs Florida at home, although they won in a shootout.
The Rangers, no surprise, will roll out the same lineup as they did in the win vs Pittsburgh. Another chance for the Voros-Dubinsky-Zherdev line to reclaim some of their early season magic. It's hard to believe that Dubinsky has only one goal in his last 30 games.
Other notes:
-The rest of the Eastern Conference all-star team will be announced tomorrow. I doubt Marc Staal would make it, but Lundqvist has a good shot, and will likely be the lone Ranger representative.
-Jarkko Ruutu is in trouble with the league. No surprise, it was just a matter of time. He denies biting Andrew Peters' hand, but hopefully the league does not buy it and does something about it.
-The Ducks have traded Brad May to Toronto. Not surprise there as well, as Brian Burke begins the process of adding toughness to the Leafs with a player he was familiar with in Anaheim.
