Canes-Habs tonight.

Les Hurricanes du Caroline retourneront dans La Belle Province ce soir. Ils jouerant á Les Habitants dans le Bell Centre, où Les Hurricanes ont gagné six jeux consécutif....
Ah. Screw it. My french is terrible

Tonight, the Canes will be back in La Belle Province for the second time in less than two weeks. They'll be looking for their seventh consecutive win at the Bell Centre. Dating back to last season, including the playoffs, the Canes have defeated the Canadiens in their own building six times in a row by a combined score of 22-8.

Erik "Hab Killa" Cole, who has been out with a hip pointer, is listed as "possible" for tonight's game. Cory Stillman, Justin Williams, Bret Hedican are all out.

The Habs are now having more than their fair share of injuries. Cristobal Huet was injured on Wednesday night. It turned out to be a hamstring pull, and he's been placed on the IR indefinitely. Defenseman Craig Rivet is out with pneumonia. Alex Kovalev injured his elbow, and will be out for three weeks.

David Aebischer will start for the Habs in net. To fill the roster, they called up netminder Jaroslav Halak and right wing Duncan Milroy from Hamilton of the AHL. Neither has ever played in the NHL.

Carolina hasn't made any call-ups to replace Williams or Hedican. The good news on the Hedican front is that his injury was not a concussion. He's day-to-day and will probably be back Tuesday for the home game against Atlanta.

If Cole skates tonight, look for him to have a huge night.

The Canes will need to win this game to stay inside the playoff bubble. In fact, Montréal could leapfrog them with a win. Only one standings point separates Carolina (seventh) from Montréal (tenth). In reality, though, everyone has games in hand on Carolina, so they're already on the outside looking in.

Puck drop will be at 7:00 and it will be on Canes TV
