Cole Caufield Slips Up in Press Conference, Leaks Lineup Change Ahead of Tonight's Game
Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield was in great spirits during his recent press conference. It was a joy to see.
He even got carried away and gave us a little scoop regarding the Canadiens' lineup.
We imagine the Canadiens will announce and confirm it in the next few minutes, but if we go by Cole Caufield's words, everything points to Rafael Harvey-Pinard joining the lineup as reinforcement starting tonight.

So now we have to wait and see if it will be Michael Pezzetta or Josh Anderson who will be scratched from Martin St-Louis' lineup.
In Pezzetta's case, it would be a healthy scratch, while in Anderson's case, he is clearly bothered.
He missed yesterday's practice to receive treatments and seemed to really be in bad shape against the Winnipeg Jets.
This is a developing story.
Harvey-Pinard, 26 years old, is a 5-foot-9, 181-pound forward, extremely hardworking, and a 7th-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2019 draft.
This season, he recorded 11 points in 24 games with the Laval Rocket, including four goals, with a -2 plus-minus.
In his NHL career, he has recorded 31 points in 83 games with the Montreal Canadiens, including 17 goals, with a +3 plus-minus. (Including 14 goals in 34 games in 2022-23)
Tonight will be his first game of the season for the Canadiens.
