In the final seconds, the Montreal Canadiens jumped on the ice in Buffalo for tonight's game against the Sabres.
For the occasion, Martin St-Louis unveiled his new lineup, and there is a big surprise. The first trio, formerly composed of Cole Caufield, Sean Monahan and Nick Suzuki, has been broken up.
Mike Hoffman is taking Monahan's place, and the least we can say is that it is not unanimous among the fans at the moment. There is a lot of misunderstanding.
Samuel Montembeault will indeed be in front of the net for his team.
Check out Martin St-Louis' new trios:
Caufield-Suzuki-Hoffman
Monahan-Dach-Drouin
Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher
Pitlick-Evans-Dadonov
Guhle-Savard
Harris-Kovacevic
Xhekaj-Wideman
Montembeault
Allen
