Very good news for the Montreal Canadiens on this Sunday
With all that's going on right now, we almost forgot that the Montreal Canadiens have a game tomorrow against the Islanders in New York... Unless that one is cancelled as well?
To face Barry Trotz's team, several elements will be absent, including Artturi Lehkonen, so the offense will showcase many Rocket players.
So here's what the combinations concocted by Dominique Ducharme on Sunday morning looked like:
Hoffman - Suzuki - Evans
Drouin - Dauphin - Ylönen
Belzile - Poehling - Caufield
Pezzetta - Vejdemo - Harvey-Pinard
*Byron - Gallagher
Chiarot - Savard
Romanov - Petry
Kulak - Clague
Niku - Wideman
Yes, Paul Byron skated with his teammates for the first time Sunday morning, but he was obviously wearing a no-contact jersey. Wouldn't it be a good thing for the CH to have one of its leaders back in the lineup?
On the bad news side: Cedric Paquette is in isolation awaiting a COVID test result.
In any case, we can't say that it's negative to see this bunch of Laval Rocket players within the CH since the team is playing better hockey since they are there...
