PHILADELPHIA — Jaroslav Halak will start in goal for the Montreal Canadiens in Game 4 of the NHL Eastern Conference quarter-final series tonight in Philadelphia.
Halak will replace Carey Price, who was pulled after the second period of the Canadiens' 3-2 loss to the Flyers in Monday's Game 3. Price has given up 10 goals with an .853 save percentage in the series.
Earlier in the day, the Habs' coach indicated he had made up his mind, but would not reveal his decision.
Price has played in every minute of the first 10 playoff games this spring until he was yanked after two periods of Montreal's 3-2 loss on Monday and replaced by Halak.
