Leddy will miss his third straight game tonight but is a good sign that he was back on the ice this mooring. He is expected to miss at least another week though.

Klingberg will miss his second straight game because of an upper-body injury. Monitor his status leading up to Sunday’s game against the Blues.

Price allowed an uncharacteristic five goals on 28 shots in the Canadiens 5-2 loss to the Senators on Thursday. Despite the rough night, they will not hesitate to go back to him tonight vs. the Islanders. Price has gone 1-3-1 with a 2.41 GAA and .925 SV% in his last five outings. He will look to duplicate his first start vs. the Isles—he stopped 37 shots in a 3-1 win back in December.

Klingberg left last Saturday’s game early, but was able to play on Tuesday. In Tuesday’s game he suffered an upper-body injury and it doesn’t look like he will play tonight. Expect Jason Demers to be back in; replacing Klingberg.

Price made 35 saves on 36 shots in the Canadiens 1-0 OT loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. He has gone 1-2-1 with a 1.76 GAA and .947 SV% in his first fours starts in March. Tonight he will face the Senators for the second time this season—he made 24 saves in a 4-1 win in their first meeting.

The Islanders do not practice until tomorrow, so they likely won’t confirmed the report until tomorrow. If he misses two weeks, he would miss about five games, which isn’t too bad. Expect Brian Strait to have a permanent spot on the Isles’ blue line with Leddy out.

Klingberg was listed as questionable after leaving Saturday’s game early. There was no word throughout the day, nor in warmups, but he will play tonight in Philadelphia. He has 36 points (10G / 26A) in 52 games this season.

Leddy suffered a lower-body injury in the Islanders overtime win over the Maple Leafs on Monday. He was listed as a game-time decision, but will be held out of tonight’s game against the Rangers. Leddy will be replace by Brian Strait.

Leddy left Monday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. With back-to-back games, Leddy’s status for tonight’s game is uncertain. Head coach Jack Capuano said he had “no idea” if Leddy will play tonight. Expect a an update a few hours before puck-drop.

Price stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Canadiens 2-0 win over the Coyotes on Saturday. The win snapped an unusual two-game losing streak for Price and it was his seventh shutout of the season. Tonight will be his third start against the Lightning—he is 0-2-0 with a 4.91 GAA and .864 SV% in the first two meetings.

Klingberg left Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury, but the Stars are hopeful that he will be available for Tuesday’s game against the Flyers. Klingberg has an assist in four straight games and seven helpers in his last 10 games—however he is a minus-7 over that span as well.

Wennberg played 14:27 on Saturday, which was his lowest on-ice total since February 19th, which suggests he may have suffered an injury vs. Colorado. There is no word when he suffered it or what the nature of the injury is, but he is questionable for Tuesday’s game. Wennberg has registered two assists in his last three games.

Price gave up two goals on 32 shots in the Canadiens loss in Anaheim on Wednesday. He was given Thursday night off, but will be in net tonight in Arizona. He comes in having lost two in a row, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a better option than Price vs. the Coyotes. He is 36-13-3 with a 1.92 GAA and .935 SV% on the season…Need I say more?

Price allowed four goals on 37 shots 4-0 to the Sharks on Monday. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Price, who will look to get one closer to his career-high in wins with 37. He will be facing a surging Ducks team, who have won six of their last seven games.

Price stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Canadiens 4-0 shutout win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. He was an excellent 9-1-1 with a 1.34 GAA, .949 SV% and two shutouts in February. He has a great matchup vs. a struggling Sharks team, who did not win a game at home in February.

Price allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Canadiens 5-2 win in Columbus on Thursday. He has won three in a row, posting a 1.67 GAA and .943 SV% in the process. Tonight he will face a Maple Leafs team he is 2-0-0 with a 1.93 GAA and .929 SV% against. You don’t need me to tell you that he is a must-start.

Price allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Canadiens 5-2 win over the Blues on Tuesday. Price is 7-0-1 with a 1.22 GAA and .954 SV% over his last eight starts.

Price allowed one goal on 32 shots in the Canadiens 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. Price has gone 6-1-0 with a 1.11 GAA and .958 SV% in his last seven outings.
