Montreal might have to face the struggling Buffalo Sabres without their best player tonight.  Tomas Plekanec, the leading scorer of the team, was told to stay in the team's hotel room after showing flu like symptoms.  While many of his team mates, including line mate Michael Cammalleri believe he will be in the lineup, he still remains a game time decision. 

Buffalo is also having their own injury woes and will be missing Ryan Miller for tonight's game, out with a muscle strain.

In an extremely candid interview with Tony Marinaro, @tonymarinaro, of the Team 990 in Montreal, Max Pacioretty was very clear about his desires to be in the AHL if there is no role for him on the top 2 lines.  Pacioretty talked about his confidence and how he is off to a good start.  In fact, in ten games with the Bulldogs this season, he has scored three goals and assisted on 9 others for a total of 12 points.  He has taken a total of 48 shots towards the opposition's net. Notably, two of his three goals came during a man-advantage situation.

Despite previous reports about the potential lineup changes for tonight's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Jaroslav Spacek will not be watching the match from the press-box.  At the practice session yesterday, Alexandre Picard had been paired with Andrei Markov while Spacek played alongside Ryan O'Byrne.  This led to speculations that Spacek, a veteran defenceman who is going through a tough season debut, would be a healthy scratch against the CBJ to make room for Picard, who has been fairly impressive and consistent.   Today, this was confirmed to not be
