The Calgary Flames and Montreal Canadiens are playing on the NHL schedule on Sunday and the game in Canada is from the Bell Centre and starts up at 7 pm ET as the Atlantic division leading Habs host the team from their continent and it comes after a matchup with the Canucks on the road.
The Canadiens come into the game after losing to the Vancouver Canucks on the road and that matchup was in overtime. The Canadiens have been one of the best teams to start the season in the east and they have an 8-2-1 record with 17 points to lead the Atlantic division. The Canadiens will have an Original Six matchup next and that will be at home against the Chicago Blackhawks and that will be on Tuesday after this game with the Flames.
The Canadiens have not been spectacular scoring the puck so far this season, but they have been doing enough to win and they are also ranked sixth in penalty kill percentage. The team comes in after previously winning in a shootout against Calgary earlier last week and center Tomas Plekanec is currently leading the team in scoring through the season and is tops on points.
Carey Price has been strong once again and the Flames come in after a win against the Nashville Predators and they will next play against the Washington Capitals. The team has a top 10 defense while allowing just over two goals per game this season and they also are ranked ninth in power play percentage. The team has 14 points on the season and they are fourth in the Pacific division.
