The word spread throughout the day, but the Montreal Canadiens just confirmed it via an official press release.
Firstly, Samuel Montembeault will be in the net tonight against the Ottawa Senators.
But secondly, we have a nice surprise on the first line!
Many fans and experts have been calling for it for a while, and it will be none other than Rafaël Harvey-Pinard who will be on the first line tonight, alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
We are really looking forward to seeing this!
