The reeling Montreal Canadiens (32-20-8), who have won only two games over the last eight after Tuesday’s win over the New York Rangers, they’ll look to follow that up against another New York team on Thursday. Since firing head coach Michel Therrien last week and hiring former Bruins coach Claude Julien, Montreal is 1-1.
Carey Price (2.44 goals against average, .918 save percentage), who had been in slump since mid-December, has his groove back in the last two games, posting a .936 save percentage. The Habs will rely on Price’s resurgence going forward, as the Canadiens have dropped to 12th in team offense (2.8 goals per game) and have scored more than two goals only twice in their last eight games.

The New York Islanders (28-21-10), meanwhile, have found their own resurgence since firing head coach Jack Capuano and replacing him with assistant general manager Doug Weight. Since the move, the Islanders have pulled themselves out of last place in the Eastern Conference, and have gone 11-4-2. They’re now tied with Florida and Boston for the final Wild Card spot in the East. Team captain John Tavares (22 goals, 28 assists) looks to lead his team offensively against the Canadiens (7:30 PM ET on SNE) on Thursday.

The Islanders are playing well right now and started off their long road trip with a win at Detroit on Tuesday. Montreal is coming off a win, but have failed to follow that up with another one in their last seven tries.
