Pittsburgh is coming off a 5-1 loss against one of the worst teams in the East of the Florida Panthers.

"It is uncharacteristic for our team to lay an egg like that," defenseman Matt Niskanen told NHL.com. "We'll have some bad nights where we make mistakes or our decision making is off, things like that. Since I've been here, the compete [level] and the work ethic has always been ahead of premium. It's just there, we never even have to talk about it. I think we have to recognize that it was awful [Monday] and get ready for a hard-nosed game on Wednesday."

Pittsburgh, though, still leads the Eastern Conference in both home victories (20-4-0) and points (70), and welcomes a Canadiens team yet to win or lose consecutive games since the start of 2014, according to NHL.com.

"The games get tough and the points get tough," Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban said Tuesday. "When you're playing great teams you gotta bring your 'A' game. We gotta make sure we're bringing our 'A' game. We just have to be consistent in doing the right things. Once we get back to that we'll be fine."

The Penguins continue to win, but they have been allowing more goals than usual. Pittsburgh has given up four or more goals four times in seven games in the new year.

"We were just awful," said defenseman Matt Niskanen, who scored Monday and has two goals and three assists in a four-game point streak. "Bad execution. Bad work ethic. We just weren't hungry enough to win the loose puck battle and they just beat the (stuffing) out of us."

Injury report, according to NHL.com:

"Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk (hand) is skating with strength coach Pierre Allard and isn't expected back until after the Olympic break. Defenseman Douglas Murray (lower body) is expected to play Wednesday. Defenseman Davis Drewiske (shoulder surgery) and center Ryan White (upper body) are on injured reserve ... Penguins goalie Tomas Vokoun (blood clot, hip) is off blood thinners. He will skate Wednesday and face shots once his blood levels return to normal. Forward Andrew Ebbett (broken ankle) practiced Monday for the first time since the injury. Forwards Beau Bennett (wrist surgery), Chris Conner (hand surgery), Pascal Dupuis (knee surgery), Brian Gibbons (lower body) and Joe Vitale (sprained right wrist) are on IR."
