Peter Budaj may have been disappointed about not starting in Game 2 against New York, but he helped get Dustin Tokarski ready for his playoff debut on Monday night.
"He supported me all day," said Tokarski after he made 27 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Rangers. The Canadiens decided to give Tokarski a look because he has enjoyed success in big moments before throughout his career at the junior and minor-league levels. Budaj also hasn't enjoyed much success at the NHL level during the postseason, with an .843 save percentage and a 5.13 goals-against average in seven appearances. It's unclear who will get the start for Montreal in Game 3 on Thursday.
