The Penguins are coming off 4-3 overtime victory against the New Jersey Devils . Sidney Crosby scored the game winning goal. It may be tough for the Canadiens to hold off Crosby. As he and the Penguins try to make that final push to the playoffs.
The Penguins are currently sitting second in the Metropolitan Division behind the Capitals. The Penguins have struggled with injuries through out the season and hope to stay healthy the rest of the year. But they have managed to keep it together enough to be a contender.
The Canadiens are also coming off a 4-2 victory against the New York Rangers. Also they recently got goalie Carey Price back from injury. He is always a tough competitor and will make it hard on the Penguins.
Right now the Canadiens don’t have much to play for considering how bad they have played this season. They look to finish strong in a subpar season. They have a record of 3-9-2 in March and fallen to the 14th spot in the Eastern Conference.
