Sidney and company vs the Habs.

A key 2-game matchup this weekend that should catch NHL fans attention is the one between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens. Tonight, in Pittsburgh is the first matchup and it will be followed by another Habs/Pens meeting sunday at the Bell centre in Montreal.

Montreal is only 5 points ahead of Pittsburgh who are 7th against all odds and predictions. Should Crosby and his gang explode and win both games, the gap with Montreal would be reduced to only 1 point. David Aebisher has been given the start in net for Montreal, this is his 2nd start in a row after giving a solid outing in a 3-1 win vs the Ottawa Senators earlier this week.
