Struggling Canadiens host Penguins

Feb 3, 2009 - 3:12 PM Pittsburgh (24-22-5) at Montreal (28-16-6), 7:30 p.m. EST

MONTREAL (Ticker) -- The Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins came into the season with high expectations. Both clubs have disappointed.

Pittsburgh hopes to avoid a third straight loss when it visits Montreal on Tuesday.

The Penguins are coming off a pair of one-goal defeats and have just one win in their last seven road games.

Pittsburgh dropped a 4-3 overtime contest to New Jersey on Friday and a 5-4 setback to Toronto on Saturday. Evgeni Malkin notched a goal and an assist in both contests.

Montreal has lost five of its last six games, including a 3-1 setback to rival Boston on Sunday. The loss dropped the Canadiens 18 points behind the Bruins.

Robert Lang scored the lone goal for the Canadiens, who had their five-game home winning streak snapped in the process. Lang later left with an apparent leg injury.

Montreal won the first meeting, 3-2, at Pittsburgh on December 27.
