MONTREAL - Sid the Kid: The Comeback Tour hits town tonight.
The Canadiens hope to avoid a second-straight loss to a Pennsylvania team after taking a 3-1 smackdown in Philadelphia Friday afternoon.
The Penguins will be led by Captain Sidney Crosby who notched three assists in a 6-3 home win over the Ottawa Senators Friday.
Crosby has seven points in three games for the Penguins (13-6-4)
Crosby's return from a long concussion injury has been marked by his previous feisty play and last night he even found himself in a minor scuffle with Ottawa tough guy Nick Foligno.
The Penguins, minus stars Crosby and Evegeni Malkin, beat the Canadiens (10-10-3) 3-1 on October 2.
The one bright element of the Canadiens' recent efforts is their 40 straight-power play kills. However their power play has been unplugged and the Habs didn't manage to pot a marker in five tries against the Flyers Friday.
Carey Price is expected to start in goal against Marc-Andre Fleury. Price recorded back-to-back shutouts before giving up a trio of goals in the loss to the Flyers.
