Cristobal Huet will be in goal when the Blackhawks take on the Montreal Canadiens tonight at the United Center in an Original Six matchup. This is the first time in three years the Canadiens have played in Chicago.

It's the first time this season Huet will play in back-to-back games. He suffered the loss in Thursday's night's 2-0 defeat to the Predators in Nashville.
"He's playing well," coach Joel Quenneville said. "He's played three really strong games in a row and last night might have been his best. It's an opportunity to get him back-to-back starts and he gets an opportunity to play against his former team."
Huet played parts of three seasons with Montreal before being traded to the Washington Capitals during the 2007-08 season.
Jonathan Toews will miss his fourth consecutive game with a concussion. The Hawks' captain hasn't skated since Vancouver's Willie Mitchell leveled him with a check on Oct 21.
"Progress hasn't been exactly where we wanted it," Quenneville said. "Some of that is going to take some time. Every day there's been some progress but at the same time we're just waiting to see. We have the weekend here and a couple of days next week and hopefully we can get him on the ice and get him back out there."
After tonight, the Hawks don't play again until they take on the Coyotes in Phoenix on Nov. 5.
