Pittsburgh Penguins At Montreal Canadiens Preview: Lineups, Where To Watch

The Pittsburgh Penguins will face another tough test against one of the NHL's best teams on Halloween night. 

They'll play the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre and will try to end the Habs' four-game winning streak. The Canadiens have only allowed four goals during this streak and are 8-3-2 overall. 

Forward Cole Caufield has been electric to start the season, compiling eight goals and 12 points in 13 games. Nick Suzuki is also tied for the team lead in points with 12, but will be out for this game. It's a big deal because he's one of the league's best players and can shut down each team's top line. 

Defenseman Lane Hutson does it all and is one of the best at his position. He has three goals and 11 points in 13 games and can take your breath away with his skating. 

Don't forget about forward Juraj Slafkovsky, either. He's a fantastic player, and it doesn't take much to get him going. 

Goaltender Jacob Fowler will start for the Habs and he's been on fire lately. He leads the NHL with 10.1 goals saved above expected and is 6-1-0 with a .942 save percentage to start the season. 

As for the Penguins, Sergei Murashov will start in goal, and it will be his first start in two weeks. Arturs Silovs has been fantastic since Murashov last started, but there's no reason to overwork him. 

Murashov has been patient and has had an opportunity work on certain things at practice. It's also a big game. Let's see what he can do. 

Here's a look at the expected lines and pairs:

Novak-Crosby-Rakell
