Despite lack lustre performances in his last two games, Jaroslav Halak is expected to get his third straight start Wednesday night, when the Montreal Canadiens travel to New York to face the Rangers.

The Canadiens No. 1 goalie, Carey Price, is still listed as day-to-day. However, he has spent little time on the ice in practice since it was revealed that he has a lower-body injury.

The Canadiens captain, Saku Koivu, skated this morning at the team's practice facility in Brassard, and joined his teammates briefly before the team's full practice began.

He is expected to join the Canadiens in Thursday mornings skate before their game with the Toronto Maple Leafs, practice Friday, and return to active play on Saturday at home against the Washington Capitals.
