Montreal Canadiens interim head coach Martin St-Louis was at a press conference a few minutes ago and announced a few changes to his roster, including two major ones.
The first: Young defenseman Jordan Harris will be back in uniform tonight to face the Sens. Harris replaces Kale Clague who will be left out.
The second: Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki have a new line mate, and there are many reactions. It's no longer Josh Anderson, nor Rem Pitlick, who completes the Suzuki-Caufield duo, it's now Mike Hoffman.
An experiment tried a few weeks ago and which was not conclusive.
"Canadian's morning workout:
Harris, Pezzetta UP
Clague, RHP (Laval) DOWN
Dauphin, Clague, Lagesson OUT
Caufield-Suzuki-Hoffman
Perreault-Evans-Anderson
R. Pitlick-Dvorak-Gallagher
Pezzetta-Poehling-T. Pitlick
Romanov-Savard
Edmundson-Petry
Harris-Wideman
Price" - Simon-O. Lorange (La Presse)
The Canadiens will visit the Ottawa Senators and it is indeed Carey Price who will be in front of his team's net.
Please also note the return to the lineup for Michael Pezzetta, who has finished serving his suspension for hitting T.J. Oshie in the head. He takes the place of Rafaël Harvey-Pinard.
