There's big news currently circulating within the Montreal Canadiens that's going unnoticed.

It couldn't be confirmed this morning because Martin St-Louis didn't want to reveal his lines, but here's what Martin McGuire said on 98.5 FM.

There were major changes in the CH's line combinations.

In particular, the nearly set-in-stone duo of Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki would have been separated.

Here are the new lines mentioned by McGuire:

Caufield � Monahan � Anderson

Harvey-Pinard � Suzuki � Gallagher

Pearson � Newhook � Slafkovsky

Pezzetta � Evans � Ylonen

Is this because of Nick Suzuki's poor start to the season? Will it be confirmed tomorrow against the Washington Capitals? A story to follow.

Monahan has a strong history as a number one center, especially during his time with the Calgary Flames alongside Johnny Gaudreau.
