Carey Price: First NHL start comes vs. Penguins

Canadiens head coach Guy Carbonneau will let heralded goalie Carey Price show what he can do against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow night on the road.

Price gets the start after No. 1 Cristobal Huet played the Canadiens’ first two games, an overtime win and OT loss. Also, Kyle Chipchura gets his first taste of action and defenceman Josh Gorges makes his season debut, with Mikhail Grabovski and rearguard Patrice Brisebois pulling up seats in the Pittsburgh press box.

Up front:
Chris Higgins-Saku Koivu-Michael Ryder
Alex Kovalev-Tomas Plekanec-Andrei Kostitsyn
Guillaume Latendresse-Bryan Smolinski-Tom Kostopoulos
Steve Bégin-Kyle Chipchura-Mathieu Dandenault

On defence (subject to change):
Andrei Markov-Mike Komisarek
Josh Gorges-Roman Hamrlik
Francis Bouillon-Mark Streit

Here are two short audio clips gathered today by The Gazette’s Pat Hickey of Tomas Plekanec and Carey Price, who says his NHL debut will be “just another game.”
