Viewers in the Montreal region can watch the game live on TSNs Canadiens channel at 7:30pm et/8:30pm at. Or you can listen live on TSN Radio 990. The Flames are 0-2-0 on the season and have been outscored by a combined 10-5 margin in those outings. Calgarys latest setback came Monday in St. Louis, as the Flames kicked off a three-game road trip in disappointing fashion. Alex Pietrangelo and Jason Arnott each notched a goal and an assist as the St. Louis Blues took a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames. Curtis Glencross and Jarome Iginla put the puck in the net for Calgary, which fell to 0-2 for the first time since the 2008-09 season. The Flames last went winless over the first three games of a season when they started 0-2-1 in 2007-08. Henrik Karlsson allowed five goals on 35 shots in the loss and Miikka Kiprusoff is expected to be back between the pipes tonight. Kiprusoff is 7-3-0 with a 2.58 goals-against average in 12 career games against Montreal. The Canadiens, meanwhile, are coming off a dominating performance in Winnipeg, but that 5-1 victory did come at a cost as forward Michael Cammalleri and defenseman Jaroslav Spacek were both hurt. Cammalleri, a former Flame, is expected to miss no more than two weeks with a deep cut on his right leg. Spacek will likely be sidelined 2-to-3 weeks with an upper-body injury. On a positive note, the Canadiens are expected to have forward Lars Eller in the lineup for tonights home opener. Eller, who had 17 points in 77 games for Montreal last year, is returning from offseason shoulder surgery. Montreal suffered a 2-0 loss to the rival Toronto Maple Leafs to begin the season last Thursday, but the Canadiens followed that up with their blowout of the Winnipeg Jets. It was the first NHL game in Winnipeg in 15 years after the Atlanta Thrashers were moved to Manitoba over the summer. Tomas Plekanec had a goal and two assists while Yannick Weber added a goal and an assist for the Canadiens. Carey Price made 30 saves in the win. "We pretty much played the game we wanted to play for 60 minutes," Montreal right wing Brian Gionta said. Montreal had a solid 24-11-6 record as the host last year and this is the first time the Habs will host the Flames in a home opener. Calgary has taken four of five and five of the last eight meetings with the Canadiens, but the Flames have dropped five of their last six in Montreal. jerseys from china .

Instead, he and his teammates were outworked by the Columbus Blue Jackets in a penalty-filled 5-2 loss Friday night at Nationwide Arena. Clarkson took the first of eight minor penalties in a choppy game that left players searching for answers. "We know weve got better, we know we have to do the right things to be an A-team in this league and we didnt do the right things tonight," said forward Dave Bolland, who scored the Leafs second goal and took two penalties. Special teams play was a major reason Toronto entered the game 7-3-0 despite coach Randy Carlyle lamenting his teams lack of an identity early this season. The Leafs only gave up one power-play goal to Columbus, but the parade to the penalty box still hurt them. They spent 11 minutes 32 seconds shorthanded, forcing goaltender Jonathan Bernier to take on a heavy workload and disrupting the flow of the game. Six of the minor penalties were stick infractions, in part the result of what Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards figured was his groups best skating game of the year. "Theyre a good team, they work hard, they had a good forecheck on us," said Bernier, who stopped 31 of the 35 shots he faced. "We had some scoring chances, we just didnt put it in the net." The Blue Jackets got on the board on the power play, as defenceman Ryan Murray scored his first NHL goal just 39 seconds after Clarkson was penalized for hooking Nick Foligno. Marian Gaborik scored in the third not long after Nazem Kadri was released from the box after the second of his three penalties, and Brandon Dubinsky scored the game-winner with Columbus shorthanded later in the period. "The power plays were definitely lopsided, and then we get a break to go four-on-three and we give up a short-handed (goal)," Carlyle said. "Kind of set the table for what happened tonight." It was an uneven performance from the get-go for the Leafs, who were outshot 16-5 in the first period and didnt get on the board until Phil Kessel scored 40 seconds after the first intermission. Penalties piled up after that, and Bernier did his best to keep his team in the game. "Weve got to get a better effort," said Clarkson, who had four shots, two penalty minutes and a minus-1 rating in 15:10 of ice time. "Especially Bernies been playing that well for us, and we kind of hang him out to dry there a little bit." Bernier said the Leafs didnt bring their "effort" against the Blue Jackets, but that wasnt lacking from Clarkson, who missed the first 10 games of the season while serving a suspension for leaving the bench to enter a pre-season fight. Carlyle figured Clarkson looked "rusty" but expected that after so much time away from game action. Cheap Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys. "Hes going to try, hes going to work," Carlyle said. "The other things as far as the stick-handling and the turnovers and stuff, I think youve got to give the guy some slack. He hasnt played any games this year. Everybody else is about 10 games ahead of him." Clarkson didnt feel rusty but wasnt giving himself any glowing reviews, in part because of the final result. "Any time you lose, you dont feel good," Clarkson said. "I felt like on the forecheck my jump was there, I felt OK. ... (But) its all about winning right now, and it doesnt matter how anyone feels weve got to find a way to win it, weve got to play better than that." After signing a US$36.75-million, seven-year deal with the Leafs in the off-season and taking on the expectations that went with it, Clarkson was anxious to make an impact. Weeks of bag skates prepared him for this moment, but once the puck dropped he tried to forget about all that. "I think Ive played in the league long enough that its not just another game, but when youve been out that long, you want to get out there and get some hits and get on the forecheck and make some plays," he said. "All that stuff, hopefully one down and now well get going." Clarkson wasnt to blame for the Leafs third-period meltdown, which included Gaboriks fifth goal of the season and Dubinskys shorthanded that came on a bad break. In his third straight start, Bernier faulted himself for not making enough saves, but the ex-New York Rangers forward made just about the perfect shot. "Youve got to give the shooter credit sometime," Bernier said. "He put it right under the bar. It was a good shot." Clarkson and his teammates must try to rebound quickly, with Sidney Crosby (18 points in 10 games) and the Pittsburgh Penguins visiting Air Canada Centre on Saturday night. Just like the Penguins after a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders, the Leafs have little time to dwell on this performance. "Were going to be fine, weve got to bounce back," Clarkson said. "This is the game of hockey, youre not going to win every game. I think we know what weve got to be better in."
