Crosby will start tonight, after sitting out practice on Monday with a sore ankle brought on by a shot Saturday night against the Ducks. It's also looking like Ruutu will be scratched again tonight in favor of Adam Hall, whereas there is no official as of yet if Nasreddine will play for Scuderi.
For the Habs, Carey Price makes his NHL debut in goal. Price has performed phenomenely in all levels of play, as evident by his Calder Cup win with the Hamilton Bulldogs this past season. We'll see how he fairs tonight against the Pens, as we can expect to see a more potent offense and HOPEFULLY a stronger penalty kill. If the Pens want to win this game they have to turn off Koivu and Kovalev and capitalize on some powerplay advantages.
