Montreal Hopes to Break Losing Snap

Montreal is hoping to snap out of a recent slide that has seen the Canadiens drop five of their last seven games. That's dropped them into third place in the NHL's Atlantic Division heading into tonight's home game against Florida.

The good news for Montreal, is a win vaults them ahead of Tampa Bay into second place in the division. The bad news, is that the Canadiens have lost 10 of 22 games on their home ice this season.

The Colorado Avalanche takes a three-game winning streak into its home game against Calgary tonight. Dallas visits the Islanders and the Rangers host Columbus to round out the schedule.
