Don't expect a lot of goals at the Bell Centre on Thursday night.

The Minnesota Wild roll into La Belle Province to take on the Montreal Canadiens, a game headlined by those between the pipes.

Devan Dubnyk and Carey Price will square off for the first time this season, both in the midst of stellar campaigns.

Player Record GAA Sv% Shutouts
Price 18-4-2 1.87 0.936 2
Dubnyk 16-6-3 1.55 0.948 5

Price holds a slightly better record, while Dubnyk ranks atop the NHL in the other three categories.

Dubnyk and the Wild come in on an eight-game winning streak, while the Habs own the best home record in the league at 15-2-2.

The two All-Star goaltenders will only play each other twice this season, but expect them to battle for the Vezina Trophy all year long.
