The Montreal Canadiens will start Carey Price at goalie on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres.
Price has posted a solid .924 save percentage over his past five starts, but he's lost four over that span. Look for him to get back in the win column tonight versus a Sabres squad that ranks only 24th in the NHL in scoring (2.44 goals per game). For the season, Price is 22-10-5 with a .921 save percentage and 2.35 goals-against average. The 22 wins are tied for seventh-most in the league.
Our models give Price a 66.0 percent chance of picking up a win over Buffalo while projecting him to allow 1.9 goals and record 25.1 saves. He is numberFire's second-ranked goalie on an extremely deep 14-game slate.
