Two Major Lineup Changes Could Happen Before Tomorrow's Game, Including Arber Xhekaj
While Martin St-Louis' lineup has remained relatively intact since the start of the Montreal Canadiens' season, that could soon change.
We'll get the official answers tomorrow morning, but don't be surprised if two significant changes occur.
In the last few hours, Martin St-Louis confirmed that Jayden Struble has been cleared by doctors and is ready to return to action.
We expect Struble to be inserted into the Canadiens' lineup tomorrow against the Los Angeles Kings, and don't be surprised if Arber Xhekaj is unfortunately the one to be left out, especially since Justin Barron has had two strong performances in recent days.
It's also worth mentioning that both Jayden Struble and Arber Xhekaj are left-handed defensemen, while Barron is a right-hander.
In short, we'll have the final answer tomorrow.
Arber Xhekaj out and a promotion for Emil Heineman?
Another change to watch is a potential promotion for Emil Heineman to the Canadiens' second line.
I'd like to see him move up to the second line.
-Anthony Martineau
Will it happen tomorrow? Stay tuned, but he seems to truly deserve a real opportunity to shine. Speaking of the second line, let's not forget that center Kirby Dach remains a question mark for the game against the Los Angeles Kings.
We have several stories to follow tomorrow morning, and rest assured, we'll keep you quickly updated on every development.
If it were up to you, what would you do in Martin St-Louis' place? Who would you put on the second line? What would you do with Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble, and Justin Barron?
