Once hockey resumes and the Penguins start their Stanley Cup journey, it will be in a best-of-five qualifying series against the Montreal Canadiens. There has already been much made about this series, from whether or not the Canadiens should even be here to debating if the Penguins are afraid of facing Carey Price.
While facing Price comes with its own dangers, he is far from the goalie he was five years ago when he won the Hart Trophy. Although it is more than possible Price find his form in a short series and steal the show, it’s more likely the Canadiens pull an upset based on problems their forwards and defensemen can create for the Penguins.
