In last season’s home opener, Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise staked the Canadiens to a lead and Carey Price pitched a 25-save shutout in a 3-0 conquest of the New York Rangers. (Tomas Plekanec added an empty-netter.)
Fleischmann and Weise are Habstory.

The Penguins lost 4-3 in Overtime to Colorado Monday night in Pittsburgh. Marc-Andree Fleury was in nets, which makes it likely we’ll see the homecoming of Mike Condon.
