Budaj will get the start on for the second game on a back-to-back for the Habs. Price was lit up for seven goals last night in a 7-6 overtime loss to Pittsburgh. Budaj is 2-1-1 with a 2.45 GAA and .905 SV% this season but has a terrible matchup vs. Boston.

Budaj won his first game of the season on Saturday vs. the Flyers. With Price out with the flu Budaj will get the start again tonight vs. the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes have won 3 straight heading into tonight so the matchup is not the best for Budaj.

Budaj is 0-1-1 with a 4.32 GAA and .866 SV% on the year. Not a great match-up vs. the Flyers.

EDGE NOTES PRICE IS RIGHT- With Toronto currently on a three-game road winning streak, you can bet the Habs will not take them lightly on the national stage tonight. Coming off a heartbreaking defeat when backup Peter Budaj gave up two late goals, look for Carey Price to right the ship... DETROIT REDEMPTION- One game after rookie netminder Petr Mrazek stole the show in St. Louis, Jimmy Howard is back in the crease with a few extra days of rest. He should be plenty motivated to prevent the start of a goaltending controversy in Detroit...

This will be Budaj's 2nd start of the year. In his first start he was beat up for 5 goals on 22 shots. The way Price is playing Budaj likely won't see many starts. He isn't fantasy relevant.

Budaj gets his first start of the season. He posted a 2.55 GAA and .913 SV% in 17 starts for the Habs last season.

In two career appearances against the Leafs, Budaj has a 1-1-0 record with a 1.89 GAA and .931 SV%.

In two career starts against the Canes, Budaj has a 1-1-0 record with a 2.03 GAA and .917 SV%.

In two career starts against the Bolts, Budaj has a 1-1-0 record with a 4.05 GAA and .881 SV%.

Budaj lost to the Caps earlier this season, stopping 20 of 23 shots.
