Major reinforcement has been added to the Canadiens lineup including a much anticipated debut
We have good news for you this Saturday morning.
As the Canadiens players just hit the ice for their morning practice in preparation for tonight's game against the New York Rangers, there's a comeback!
Rafael Harvey-Pinard is back with his teammates!
RHP is indeed present for the practice, with his teammates, and he's not even wearing a non-contact jersey!
His return to play is therefore very imminent.
If it's not tonight, it's likely to be the next game. It will certainly be a reinforcement warmly welcomed by Martin St-Louis.
Harvey-Pinard, 25 years old, has accumulated 4 points in 13 games this season, after having collected 20 points, including 14 goals, in 34 games last season.
Another big announcement for Heineman
Emil Heineman was recalled from the American Hockey League on Friday. He was with his teammates at practice. St-Louis confirmed in his pre-game press conference that the 22-year-old player will be in the lineup tonight.
We are eager to see Heineman in action, who just mentioned that he is extremely excited and nervous, a few hours before his first career game at the Bell Centre
In summary:
KOVACEVIC OUT
ALLEN OUT
HEINEMAN IN
MONTEMBEAULT IN
