Ward is set to start Sunday's contest against the Canadiens, J-F Chaumont of le Journal de Montreal reports.

Analysis:

Ward stopped 33 of the 36 shots he faced to earn his 15th victory of the campaign Friday against the Jets, and he'll return between the pipes again Sunday after a day of rest. It could be another challenging outing Sunday, as the netminder will square off against a Canadiens club scoring 3.00 goals per game over three February contests.
