With the Habs back on the ice today in Tampa Bay, Martin St. Louis took the opportunity to shuffle his deck and make a few changes to the lineup.
Here are the new combinations:
Rem Pitlick - Nick Suzuki - Cole Caufield
Mike Hoffman - Jake Evans - Josh Anderson
Paul Byron - Christian Dvorak - Joel Armia
Jesse Ylonen - Ryan Poehling - Tyler Pitlick
You may have noticed that Caufield and Suzuki have a new teammate on the first line. It is Pitlick (Rem) and I find it very interesting. The Armia experiment lasted only one game.
You will also notice that Ryan Poehling is indeed back in the lineup, and that Laurent Dauphin should be out.
Martin St. Louis confirmed in a press conference that the 23 year old forward (Poehling) will be in the lineup tomorrow. We should expect Dauphin to be left in the stands.
Do you like these new trios and decisions?
On defense, there will also be an important change :
