Canadiens head coach Guy Carbonneau is making underachieving forward Michael Ryder and defencemen Patrice Brisebois and Josh Gorges healthy scratches for tonight's game in Boston against the Bruins.
The Bruins will start 20-year-old goalie Tuukka Rask against Canadiens' Carey Price, also 20; Rask fills in for No. 1 Tim Thomas, who was hurt in the final minute of last night's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils in New Jersey and will be lost to the Bruins for a week, or longer, with the "lower-body injury."
Rask will be backed up by Alex Auld, who was acquired today from the Phoenix Coyotes for forward Nate DiCasmirro and a 2009 fifth-round draft choice.
