Montreal Canadiens right wing Brian Gionta is expected to remain sidelined this week due to a lower-body injury.
Gionta was injured in a game against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday and sat out Saturday's win against Carolina, ending a streak of 153 consecutive games played.
Canadiens coach Jacques Martin Martin said Gionta will be sidelined for an “indeterminate” period.
Gionta has eight goals and seven assists in 29 games this season.

Good morning Habs fans.
After almost squandering another lead at home - the Habs led 3-1 before the Islanders tied it - Montreal rallied back to beat the Islanders 5-3 last night. Petteri Nokelainen emerged as an unlikely hero, scoring the winning goal for the Canadiens.
It was the first time in over a month that the Canadiens won back-to-back games. The victory also extends...

Don't look now but your Montreal Canadiens are on a winning streak, albeit a modest two-game streak. But considering it's been a month since they last won back-to-back games (November 10 and 12th) they'll take it.
It was mostly a boring game in which the Habs helped the hapless Isles look a lot better than they are.
Despite being dominated for the majority of the...

Taking liberty with the headlines here. Game day Isles vs. Habs in Montreal.
Last night Brad and I had Sean Campbell from a Montreal radio station on our NHLweekly show on Sportstalknetwork.com so I got to research Montreal a little prior to his call in.
Like the Islanders, Montreal is just on that bubble. The Habs have played three more games than the Isles and have 31...

There was a surprising trade in the NHL on Dec. 9 when the Carolina Hurricanes sent defenseman Tomas Kaberle over to the Montreal Canadiens in return for fellow Czech Republic defenseman Jaroslav Spacek. The deal came as a bit of a shock to many fans and Kaberle himself since he was signed by Carolina as a free agent just a few months ago. Kaberle was in the first year of a three...

Last week the Carolina Hurricanes traded veteran defenseman Tomas Kaberle to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for another defender Jaroslav Spacek. The move was purely a salary cap move by the Hurricanes. Spacek carries a $3.833 million cap hit and will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. While Kaberle has a $4.25 cap for two more seasons.

Last night's game in Montreal was one the New York Islanders will wish to soon forget. The Canadiens were able to grab the two points by defeating the Isles 5-3 at the Bell Centre. Don't let the (relatively) close score fool you: This was a mismatch from the opening face-off, and though the Isles would eventually wake up, it'd just be too little...

The Canadiens won their second in a row, blowing a 3-1 lead but eventually beating the Islanders 5-3. Isles’ goaltender Al Montoya wasn’t particularly sharp on this night, and the difference for the Canadiens was largely the fourth line, but a wins a win and Montreal will take it.
Quick highlights: Tomas Kaberle notched an assist, he now has three in two games as a Hab...
