12/27/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Montreal Canadiens will kick off a four-game road trip when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins for this evening's battle at Mellon Arena.
The Canadiens have played just one road game so far in December and that was a 3-2 loss in Carolina on December 16. Montreal is 7-5-2 as the visiting team this year and has lost two straight and six of nine on the road.
Montreal has notched a point in three straight tests, but had a two-game winning streak halted in last Sunday's overtime loss to visiting Carolina. Tuomo Ruutu scored 1:43 into OT to lift the Hurricanes to the 3-2 decision at the Bell Centre.
On the winner, Ruutu slipped by several players as well as Habs goaltender Carey Price on a wraparound. The puck trickled through Price's pads and settled near the left post before Ruutu dove forward and knocked the disc into the net.
Matt D'Agostini and Robert Lang netted a goal each for the Canadiens. Price made 24 saves in the loss, Montreal's fourth in six outings.
Price was making his first start since December 6, as he had battled the flu originally before also sustaining a lower-body injury. He is 13-4-5 this year and 2-0 in his career against the Penguins.
The Penguins picked up a victory on Friday night as they shut out the Devils in New Jersey. Pittsburgh has alternated wins and losses over its past eight games and is 5-6-1 in December.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 37 shots he faced to post his first shutout of the season, as Pittsburgh clipped New Jersey, 1-0, at the Prudential Center.
Ruslan Fedotenko provided the lone goal for the Penguins, who have won three of five and moved past the Devils for third place in the Atlantic Division. Pittsburgh heads into Saturday's action with 42 points and is three behind Philadelphia for second place.
The Penguins are capping the 2008 calendar year with back-to-back home tests. Pittsburgh is 8-6-2 as the host this season and has dropped two straight and three of four at the Igloo. The club will also host Boston on Tuesday night.
Tonight's test marks the first of four encounters between the Pens and Habs this year. Pittsburgh won the last two meetings of 2007-08, but Montreal has still taken five of nine in the series.
Montreal has also picked up wins in two straight trips and five of its previous eight stops in the Steel City.
