In the last few seconds, at a press conference for tonight's game against the New York Rangers, head coach Martin St-Louis revealed his lineup.
Three announcements from the CH in this sense:
- Mike Hoffman and Michael Pezzetta are back in the lineup.
- Chris Wideman is out of the lineup. A very interesting decision, considering that this is what allows Hoffman to return to the lineup.
- Samuel Montembeault gets a very rare second start in two nights, at the expense of Cayden Primeau. It's well deserved.
Martin St. Louis confirms that Hoffman and Pezzetta will be in uniform in place of Evans and Wideman. Montembeault will be the starting goalie.
- Montreal Canadiens

The CH take on the Rangers at 5pm.
Hoffman has a great opportunity to get back in the good graces of his bosses. Let's hope to see him very involved tonight!
More details will follow.
