CAR@MTL: What you need to know

MONTREAL - The Carolina Hurricanes are in town on Tuesday for the second of three games against the Canadiens this season.

   this season. For the occasion, the first 5,000 fans to enter the Bell Centre will receive a figurine of
   Sunday's superb scorer

   2. The Canadiens returned home from seven days on the road in California and Vegas on Sunday, following a 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights. Montreal was blanked through the first two periods in Sin City, but made a game of it with a three-goal final 20. Matheson, Alex Belzile, and Rafael Harvey-Pinard found the back of the net for the Habs, but it was not enough to force overtime. Jake Allen made 24 saves in the outing which saw Montreal drop a third consecutive decision.

3. Tuesday's game comes four days after a relatively quiet NHL Trade Deadline for the Canadiens. General manager Kent Hughes made a pair of moves on Friday, acquiring Tony Sund and a 2024 fifth-round pick from San Jose, in addition to trading Nate Schnarr to Los Angeles in exchange for Frederic Allard. The latter made his Canadiens debut in Vegas on Sunday
   before being reassigned to the Laval Rocket
   to start the week.
   The Canadiens did not practice on Monday, meaning any further changes to the lineup will be known during Tuesday's game day skate. Fans can tune in to head coach Martin St-Louis' pregame press conference live on

4. At the other end of the ice, the Hurricanes arrive in Montreal with seven wins in their last 10 outings, including a 6-0 thumping of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Teuvo Teraveinen scored a hat trick in the game which also saw Andrei Svechnikov, Shayne Gostisbehere and Jesperi Kotkaniemi find the back of the net. Goaltender Frederik Andersen had a quiet night at the office, making just 14 saves for the shutout. Carolina has several offensive threats to keep an eye on, with Martin Necas, Sebastian Aho, Svechnikov and Brent Burns all totalling 50-plus points on the year. Newcomer Jesse Puljujarvi could make his Carolina debut on Tuesday, while Aho will notably play his 500th NHL game. The Canes currently sit second in the East with a 41-12-8 record.
5. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. Catch all the action on TSN 2 and RDS, or tune in on the radio on TSN 690 and 98,5 fm.
