KEY GAME INFORMATION
MONTREAL: LAST SEASON: 29-40-31, 71 points. Finished sixth in Atlantic Division and missed playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien (third season, 17th NHL season)
ADDED: F Max Domi, F Tomas Tatar, C Tomas Plekanec, F Joel Armia
LOST: LW Max Pacioretty, F Alex Galchenyuk
PLAYER TO WATCH: Carey Price. The all-world goaltender could be the difference between Montreal being one of the worst teams in the NHL and a playoff contender. He has the ability to steal games and will have to stay healthy and be at his best to have the Canadiens even dreaming about returning to the postseason.
OUTLOOK: Absent a heroic performance from Price, the Canadiens are in rebuilding territory after trading Pacioretty and Galchenyuk and counting on Domi and a youth movement to generate some optimism in hockey-mad Montreal. It's tough to see this as a playoff team on paper, especially with top defenseman Shea Weber out for at least the first couple of months of the regular season.
CAROLINA: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, 83 points. Sixth in Metropolitan Division.
COACH: Rod Brind'Amour (first season, first NHL season).
ADDED: F Andrei Svechnikov, D Dougie Hamilton, D Calvin de Haan, G Petr Mrazek.
LOST: G Cam Ward, F Jeff Skinner, F Elias Lindholm, D Noah Hanifin.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Sebastian Aho. The 21-year-old led the team last season with 29 goals and 65 points. He's entering his third season, and figures to be the team's top offensive threat ' especially now that Jeff Skinner has been traded to Buffalo ' though it will be worth watching to see how he adjusts to playing center instead of the wing.
OUTLOOK: With each passing year, the Hurricanes grow more tired of talking about their lengthy run of playoff absences. Either way, they'll make history this season ' either by finally ending the drought, or by missing out yet again and matching the longest dry spell in NHL history. They have the defensive corps of a playoff team, but will need improvement from G Scott Darling and their young scorers to generate offense to finally make the postseason.
PREVIEW
Hurricanes, Canadiens meet trying to hold position

Two teams with some offensive firepower hope to make it a complete weekend of good work, when the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes collide Sunday night in Raleigh, N.C.

Carolina (41-26-7, 89 points) is trending toward a playoff spot, but the Hurricanes sense they can't afford missed opportunities.

"It feels like it's do-or-die," coach Rod Brind'Amour said.

His team has won three of four games in a five-game homestand. That includes Saturday night's 5-1 whipping of the Minnesota Wild.

The Hurricanes were riding high following the latest result, after a ragged third period two nights earlier against Tampa Bay.

"A lot of that is that belief (that we'll get it right)," defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk said. "That's the one thing about this league -- you don't have to wait too long for another opportunity."

The Canadiens will arrive coming off a 7-4 victory against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. Montreal (40-28-7, 87 points) has won three straight games since a brutal stretch earlier in the month.

"It's a critical time for us," said Canadiens right winger Brendan Gallagher, who scored twice and added an assist against Buffalo. "Everybody has to show up, do their job and contribute like we've been doing. We have that confidence in each other that we'll be fine."

The Canadiens don't want to think about wearing down at this stage of the season, as they prepare for the road game on a back-to-back.

"Everyone is going, and we want to keep everyone fresh," Montreal defenseman Victor Mete said.

The Hurricanes are generally stronger in the second of back-to-back games, going 11-3-1 in such contests.

Carolina and Montreal are sitting in wild-card position for the playoffs, with just two points separating the teams, though the Hurricanes have a game at hand. Columbus is three points back of Montreal with a game at hand.

"Every game you come closer to the end of the season, the games become bigger and bigger," Carolina defenseman Brett Pesce said.

The Hurricanes are in a situation with the lineup dictated by who's most game-ready, as ailments are piling up. Forwards Justin Williams, Jordan Staal and Sebastian Aho have left recent games because of injuries before returning.

That's typical for March.

"There's a few guys who have been nicked up," Brind'Amour said. "It's that time of year. It's a little bit of a full training room right now."

Williams, the Carolina captain, had an assist Saturday night, giving him 300 points with the franchise. He's the ninth player to reach that mark with the club since the franchise relocated to North Carolina.

Meanwhile, Aho and Teuvo Teravainen are the first Hurricanes teammates to post 50 assists in the same season since Ray Whitney and Brind'Amour in 2006-07.

Montreal and Carolina have both had strong offensive games recently. The Canadiens have 14 goals over their last three, and the Hurricanes have 15 in their last four.

Carolina has split two games with the Canadiens this season, with both those games in Montreal.

With Saturday's outcome, the Hurricanes finished 19-8-3 against the Western Conference teams this season, setting a franchise record for the most wins against the Western/Campbell Conference in one season.
