No changes for Habs


by Pat Hickey


There were no changes in the Canadiens' lines as they practiced this morning at the Sensplex in Kanata but coach Guy Carbonneau said he wouldn't hesitate to do some more juggling if the team doesn't play better.

Normally, the coach would think about using Georges Laraque in tonight's game but the Senators won't have their resident heavyweight, Chris Neil. He's out with a torn meniscus in his knee. The Sens are also missing Mike Fisher, who also has a knee injury.

Carey Price will make his third consecutive start in goal while Ottawa counters with Alex Auld.

New lines


by Mike Boone


Pat Hickey checks in from morning skate in Ottawa to report Guy Carbonneau has shuffled the deck again.

Guillaume Latendresse will be reunited with Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay.

This one's intriguing: Tomas Plekanec centres Alex Kovalev and Christopher Higgins.

The third line has Robert Lang between Andrei Kostitsyn and Tom Kostopoulos.

The fourth line may be a game time decision, but it shapes up as Steve Bégin centring Georges Laraque and Sergei Kostitsyn.

Defence pairings stay the same.

Carey Price in goal.
