Dominique Ducharme stirred his fruit salad

With the Montreal Canadiens' two soulless performances, Dominique Ducharme had to stir his fruit salad a bit. The head coach mixed it up with a lot of vivacity, changing a few soldiers.
First, on the offensive end, he brought in the big guns of Joel Armia with the two kids, Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. In Tyler Toffoli's case, he ended up on the third line, with Jake Evans and Brendan Gallagher.
Secondly, he changed his lineup a bit by bringing in Alexander Romanov on Jeff Petry's left and Brett Kulak on Chris Wideman's left. Will this change be enough to flesh out the lineup?
The Drouin-Dvorak-Anderson combination, the best so far, has obviously not been "touched". You don't break a line that works well, that's a known fact!
On the good news side, Sami Niku skated with his teammates today and is getting closer and closer to a return to the game.
By the way, there are still a few tickets left on the market to attend the Montreal Canadiens' opening game against the New York Rangers, who have yet to win in two games.
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand the massive offense concocted by Alex Burrows and Dominique Ducharme...
