The Canadiens announce bad news involving Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, and we did not see it coming
The Montreal Canadiens have announced bad news for Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and his fans.
We did not see it coming, especially since he finished the training camp on the first line with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, but "RHP" has to start the season on the 4th line.
It's disappointing, but we are convinced he will climb the ranks and force Martin St-Louis' hand.
Here are the lines to start the season, as announced by the CH.
And the official statement.
The Canadiens face the Maple Leafs in Toronto tomorrow at 7pm! Let's go!
Harvey-Pinard, 24 years old, scored 14 goals and 20 points in just 34 games last season.
