Martin St-Louis announces a major last-minute change to his lineup and it's causing a stir
With the recent news about the Montreal Canadiens, we had to expect it, there are some changes in the team's lineup.
Notably, with the trade of Ben Chiarot, the interim head coach had to change his pairs, on defense, to find new sustainable combinations. (for the medium and long term)
Why is this all the talk on social media? Because, following the injury suffered by Josh Anderson, St-Louis had to reshape his offensive trios as well. In particular, the first trio.
At practice this morning, and every time Josh Anderson is not in the lineup (since St-Louis took over), it's always Mike Hoffman who replaces him and completes the Nick Suzuki-Cole Caufield duo.
But, finally, for tonight's game, as reported by Patrick Friolet of RDS, there are some last minute changes, one of which catches the eye. It's finally the disappointing Joel Armia, who replaces Hoffman and will be used with Suzuki and Caufield for tonight's game.
See the final result:
Caufield-Suzuki-Armia
Pitlick-Dauphin-Hoffman
Lehkonen-Dvorak-Gallagher
Pezzetta-Evans-Byron
Edmundson-Petry
Romanov-Kulak
Schueneman-Wideman
Allen
Montembeault
- Patrick Friolet
Do you like the idea? Could be to put it in the window with the NHL trade deadline just days away.
