Last ten record of 5-3-2 Rangers against a very impressive 7-3-0 for the Canadiens. |
| |
|
|
This is the fourth and final meeting between the teams. Montreal has taken 2 of 3, including a 6-0 home victory on Jan. 23. |
| |
|
|
It's two hot teams fighting for the final few spots in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens have won five straight and sit in a tie for |
| |
sixth place with 76 points. The Rangers have won two straight and are in ninth place with 71 points, one back of the Boston Bruins for |
| |
the eighth and final spot in the East. |

No Mike Cammalleri? No problem. Since the Habs lost their leading scorer during a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on Jan. 30, they've gone 10-4-0 to |
| |
move into playoff contention. And even without Cammalleri, the Canadiens are scoring 3.3 goals per game, up nearly 0.8 on their season |
| |
average before he was hurt. |
| |
|
|
It's resulted in a push up the Eastern ladder that has the Canadiens dreaming of the playoffs. |
| |
|
|
Markov has been on fire since the restart of the season. He has 2 goals and 7 assists in the Canadiens' eight games since the end of the |
| |
Olympics. |
| |
|
|
A win tonight would give the Canadiens their first six-game winning streak since an eight-game run from March 23-April 6, 2006. |
