New York Rangers vs. Montreal Canadiens FREE Live Streaming Online NHL Hockey at Bell Centre, Saturday at 7:00 PM ET

The Canadiens need at least point in their final game in order to stay alive for the second seed in the Atlantic Division.

Fortunately, they'll be facing a Rangers team Saturday night that has nothing to play for in its season finale -- and has had little success in Montreal over the past six years.

Montreal (45-28-8) is trying to catch Tampa Bay for the No. 2 spot in the division after the Lightning won Friday night to move one point ahead.

If the Canadiens earn one point against New York, Tampa Bay must do the same in its finale Sunday at Washington to earn home-ice advantage in a first-round playoff matchup with Montreal.

A regulation win for Montreal puts it one point ahead of the Lightning, who then must beat the Capitals to secure second place.

The Canadiens have totaled two goals in going 0-1-1 in their last two contests after scoring 12 in winning the previous two. Montreal had won 10 of 12 prior to the skid.

"It's true that we only have one more game to get set for the playoffs, but there's no reason to panic. We've been playing well recently. Tonight we played a bad game but these things happen on occasion," center Danny Briere told the Canadiens' official website. "... We're going to need some help from other teams. All we can do is to win against the Rangers on Saturday. Finishing the year with 100 points is a nice objective to shoot for."

New York (45-31-5) locked up the two seed in the Metropolitan Division with a 2-1 win over Buffalo and Philadelphia's loss later Thursday. The Rangers' focus Saturday will be on avoiding injury and keeping players fresh, though they'd surely like a better effort to close out the regular season after a lackluster showing against the league-worst Sabres.

"Obviously the focus doesn't change in the playoffs, the road or at home, but the experience changes," Lundqvist told the team's official website of gaining home ice after he made 23 saves. "To play at home is just a great feeling, and to feel the atmosphere and the support, you get goose bumps. Obviously you want to play as many games as possible at home."

That's what the Canadiens want, and they're expected to have Carey Price in net to help them try to achieve it. Price is 6-1-1 with a 1.33 goals-against average and four shutouts in nine career home games against New York.
