Massive update emerges on the health of Kirby Dach and Rafaël Harvey-Pinard live from the Bell Centre
We have two news items to report to you, live from the Bell Centre, for the Montreal Canadiens practice.
The players are indeed on the ice right now, in preparation for tonight's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Two Returnees for the Montreal Canadiens
First, Kirby Dach was back, which is obviously great news, especially with the rather worrying information that was circulating yesterday.
Let's remember that Dach was absent and had a treatment day on Wednesday morning. Some sources then suggested that Dach might have been injured.
Clearly, whether he's slightly injured or not, everything seems to indicate that he will be in his position for tonight's game.
Another Good News for Martin St-Louis's Squad
Secondly, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard skated today!
Montreal Canadiens head coach, Martin St-Louis, will be holding a press conference in the next few minutes, so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say on the subject.
Also expect him to confirm his lineup for the game against the Kings, but for now, everything indicates that he will stick to the status quo.
Newhook-Dach-Armia
Anderson-Evans-Gallagher
Heineman-Dvorak-Kapanen
Pezzetta
Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Barron
Struble
Montembeault
Primeau
So, we expect that Michael Pezzetta and Jayden Struble will be left out, and that Samuel Montembeault will be the starting goaltender.
Details will follow during the Montreal Canadiens press conferences in the next few minutes.
Do you think Martin St-Louis made the right choice by not changing his line combinations?
