Although there are no real points on the line, with the Habs having cut almost 30 players from its roster over the weekend, the competition for spots in the big team's lineup is heating up.
One key competition - that being the competition to be Carey Price's back-up - will be given a rest tonight as Carey will be given the net for an entire game to give him some tune-up time for a full 60 minutes. Another player making a strong case for his place on the team, Tomas Fleischmann, is slotted to return to the lineup tonight.
