The Montreal Canadiens' fading playoff hopes take a hit with several key injuries, but they'll look to right the ship against a shorthanded New Jersey Devils team. Montreal's 45-21-10 record still holds some weight, but their defensive corps is dwindling. Alexandre Texier is out with an expected return on April 7, while Patrik Laine's IR stint continues. The Canadiens need a win to keep their season alive.
New Jersey's own injury report is lengthy, with Arseny Gritsyuk and Brett Pesce out, but their recent form might give Montreal pause. The Devils' power play could find opportunities against a Canadiens team missing key defensemen. Goaltending and special teams will decide this one.
