Forwards Michael Pezzetta and Alex Belzile will make their career and season debut, respectively, for the Montreal Canadiens when they face the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday at the Bell Center at 7pm. (TSN2, RDS, TSN 690 Radio, 98.5 FM) .

The Habs needed additional sandpaper from their AHL affiliate in Laval after Mathieu Perreault suffered an out-of-play eye injury 2-3 weeks and Cedric Paquette received a two-game suspension for a hit against Trevor Zegras of the Ducks on Sunday. Fallen scorer Cole Caufield was also sent to the Rocket.

One of only two victories of the season was against the Red Wings, a 6-1 win in Montreal on October 23. Tonight’s game is the first of five in a row at home.

In other news, goalie Carey Price is close to returning as he completes 30 days in the NHL / NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Friday.
