The Canadiens and Predators first squared off on December 12, 1998 in Nashville. The games ended in a 2-2 tie.

Montreal and Nashville have never met in the playoffs.

Kovy ailing; Price, Koivu not skating


by Dave Stubbs


Alex Kovalev is not at today's practice in Brossard, home sick as the media have been told. Captain Saku Koivu and goalie Carey Price are not skating, both rehabbing ankle injuries. Georges Laraque, Mathieu Dandenault and Christopher Higgins skated before the team's workout.

And the Canadiens today have returned defenceman Yannick Weber to the Hamilton Bulldogs. From the Habs release: Weber was called up from the Bulldogs on Jan. 1. At the time, he led Bulldogs defencemen in scoring with 18 points (8 goals, 10 assists) and five power-play tallies. The 20-year-old played his first NHL game on Jan. 7, helping the Canadiens to a 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs. Weber was held scoreless in that game, and registered two shots on goal in 15 minutes of ice-time.
