If it were up to some Canadiens fans, Roy might be on the other bench, according to NHL.com.

"I could have both jobs if it was voted by the fans," Roy said Monday, referencing fan polls from spring 2012 when the franchise was in the midst of hiring a new coach and general manager. "I truly appreciated that. I thought that was a great gesture from them to give me that opportunity to be on top, and it made me feel good with the fans. I mean, it's not that I had doubt, but at the same time, it was nice to see that the past was way behind us and everybody moved on."

The Avalanche are after their fifth straight road win, and while Roy downplayed his return, his players understand it's a special night.

"It's a big night for him, but he's going to play it off like it's not about him," center Matt Duchene told the team's official website. "That's the way he is, and it won't be a distraction, by any means."

Montreal carried the momentum from a three-goal rally in Saturday's 5-4 home win over Ottawa into Buffalo on Sunday. The Canadiens got first-period goals from Dale Weise and Brendan Gallagher, and rookie goaltender Dustin Tokarski made 29 saves for his first career shutout in a 2-0 victory, according to ESPN.com.

"Every time you play an emotional game, as a coach you're always afraid that the next game could be tougher," said coach Michel Therrien, who was chosen over Roy in Montreal's coaching search. "But we got a really good start, and this is something we've been doing lately."
