But Covers, usually realiable, reports:
"We just got word that Arturs Irbe will be in goal tonight for Carolina. With Weekes getting a shutout in Game 6 to put New Jersey away, he stopped 12 of 15 in Game 2 on Sunday.
Irbe hasn't seen action since Game 4 of the New Jersey series back on April 23rd."

Any reliable sources ? A few Montreal stations are saying Weekes gets the start 5h00 PM.
Pat Hickey of Montreal Gazette sez
"Maurice has a difficult choice. Does he stick with Weekes, who blanked the Canadiens in Game 1 but was victimized for three goals on 15 shots Sunday night as the Canadiens tied the series with a 4-1 win?
Or does he go back to Irbe, who was the No. 1 goaltender during the regular season?
One thing is certain - Maurice doesn't blame Weekes for the loss in Game 2. "
