Montreal Canadiens 

Antti Niemi was in the starter's net at practice once again and will make his second straight start tonight against the Detroit Red Wings. Regular starter Carey Price missed Saturday’s win over the Pittsburgh Penguins due to the flu. Andrew Shaw missed practice on Monday due to the flu and won't play on Monday either.

Head coach Claude Julien said Niemi was going to get the start regardless of Price's health. 

Tomas Plekanec will play in his 1,000th career game tonight against the Wings. Nicolas Deslauriers (facial fracture) skated with the club, wearing a full cage, and is expected to be back within the next week or two. - John Lu, TSN
