Now that Tyler Toffoli is a Calgary Flames, head coach Martin St-Louis had to reconfigure his lines and designate a replacement to take Toffoli's spot.
Here are the new lines of the Habs:
Cole Caufield - Nick Suzuki - Josh Anderson
Mike Hoffman - Jake Evans - Paul Byron
Artturi Lehkonen - Ryan Poehling - Joel Armia
Rem Pitlick - Laurent Dauphin - Brendan Gallagher
Brett Kulak - Jeff Petry
Alexander Romanov - Corey Schueneman
Kale Clague - Chris Wideman
Samuel Montembeault will be the starter tonight.
We note: the absences of Michael Pezzetta and Cedric Paquette, the spot on the first pair for Petry, the big role given to Schueneman (at the request of the coach), Gallagher on the 4th, Caufield on the top line and Byron, who is back on the wing.
