Both the Montreal Canadiens (1-1-1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2-1-0)

are contemplating changes to their roster and line combinations as they prepared to play Saturday at Bell Centre in Montreal.The Penguins Cheap Kerryon Johnson Jersey , coming off a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, could have a different look against the Canadiens as coach Mike Sullivan stuck with the changes he made in the second period against the Knights.That meant Sidney Crosby was between Bryan Rust and Jake Guentzel, and Derick Brassard was with Patric Hornqvist and Dominik Simon at practice on Friday. The Penguins’ top three lines are rounded out with Evgeni Malkin with Carl Hagelin and Phil Kessel, who had a natural hat trick against the Golden Knights.Article continues below ...“Rusty brings an element of speed to that line,” Sullivan told the team’s website. “He can create a lot of loose pucks and turnovers with his speed. It allows that line to get the puck back in certain situations. It’s just a different dynamic.”Penguins No. 1 goaltender Matt Murray practiced with the team again Friday after missing the game against the Golden Knights because of a concussion. He will travel with the team to Montreal and could dress against the Canadiens.Changes could also be on the way for the Canadiens, who are coming off a tepid performance in their 3-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings in their home opener Thursday. Veteran center Tomas Plekanec could play his first game of the season for Montreal given the firepower the Penguins present with Crosby and Malkin at center. If Plekanec plays, it will be the 999th game of his NHL career.Plekanec is a crafty defender who has a history of getting under Crosby’s skin. The Canadiens also need to improve in the faceoff circle. The Canadiens won just 23 of 60 faceoffs in the loss to the Kings.Plekanec practiced on a line with Charles Hudon and Andrew Shaw on Friday. Rookie Matthew Peca could come out of the lineup to allow Plekanec’s entry.“We for sure had some trouble in the faceoff circle,” Canadiens coach Claude Julien told Montrealcanadiens.com. “It’s one of the areas we need to improve on. Tomas can help us. For me today http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-kerryon-johnson-jersey , it was to put him in that position to see how the line would look. I reserve the right to make my decision (Saturday), but it’s a possibility.”“It’s never fun to watch games from the press gallery,” Plekanec, who was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline last spring and returned to the Canadiens as a free agent in the summer, told Montrealcanadiens.com “There are a lot of things you can’t control as a player, so I just tried to work on the things I can control.”The Canadiens’ offense often misfired and looked uncoordinated against the Kings. Julien made another move on Friday to try to get forward Jonathan Drouin going. He has no points and just five shots through three games, though three of them came against the Kings.Julien moved Drouin on to a line with Max Domi and Artturi Lehkonen on Friday.“I’m not producing the way I’d like to, but I think there will be periods like that every season Authentic Kerryon Johnson Jersey ,” Drouin told the team’s website. “I have to continue what I’ve been doing. I have no doubt I’ll break out of it.” The Buffalo Sabres hope to maintain the momentum gained from a strong finish to a 3-2-0 Western road trip when they return home to play the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.The Sabres completed their 10-day trip with a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday and a gritty 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.The victory in Anaheim was considered especially significant. Buffalo took 45 shots and dominated play for long periods, but former Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller was a standout and the Ducks were able to take a 2-0 lead.Article continues below ...“We just never changed the way that we played,” Sabres right winger Kyle Okposo said. “That second goal could have been a backbreaker for us, but we just stuck with it. We played the exact same way, and we got rewarded.”“We obviously deserved to win this game, just the way we played,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said. “But it’s a credit to our leadership group for keeping the guys together and as a tight group. They talk a lot in that room, saying the right things and are leading by example. It’s a feather in their cap the way they’ve worked.”The Canadiens (5-1-2) defeated the Calgary Flames 3-2 on Tuesday night at home as Jonathan Drouin had a goal and an assist to extend his point streak to five games (three goals Authentic Deshaun Watson Jersey , four assists).The game against the Flames was a positive response to a 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators at Ottawa on Saturday in which the Canadiens wasted a 3-1 lead.“That’s the point we talked about last year when we had stretches when you just keep losing,” Drouin said. “Any good teams will tell you that you can’t lose two or three in a row. That’s where you get in a hole.”Goaltender Carey Price stopped 21 shots in his 289th career victory, tying Patrick Roy for No. 2 on the Canadiens’ franchise list. Jacques Plante leads with 314.Price is coming off the worst season of his career, going 16-26-7 with a 3.11 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage. He is off to a better start this season.“I’m getting there,” Price said. “Obviously, I haven’t had to be extraordinary yet this year.”Habs coach Claude Julien said he is not satisfied with his team’s better than expected start.“If you ask me at any time in the season whether I’m satisfied, I’ll tell you I’m not because we can always be better,” Julien said. “I may tell you I’m happy http://www.houstontexansteamonline.com/deshaun-watson-jersey , but I’m not satisfied.”The Sabres (5-4-0) were bouncing back from losses to the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks when they defeated the Kings and Ducks.“We can learn a lot from that Los Angeles game,” Sabres center Johan Larsson said. “It’s the game you have to play every night. Simple, score on your chances, be good on special teams. That’s the NHL. And that game was a really good wake-up call that we carried over.”“You never know what the outcome is going to be, but I just like the way our guys responded in both games, especially in L.A.,” Housley said. “It was really important to get back to .500 and we set ourselves up for a good road trip.”The Sabres have five wins in October for the first time since 2011. They entered this season with the NHL’s worst October record since the 2013 lockout at 14-37-6.“We’re executing better, becoming a tighter group Deshaun Watson Jersey Elite ,” Housley said. “It’s good we’ve had a little success. We can’t rest on it, but it breeds confidence for the rest of our group.”
