Following the terrible sequence we were talking about a few minutes ago.

Here, the worst is confirmed for Rafaël Harvey-Pinard. Not only is his injury confirmed, but it seems to be his right ankle again.

"The CH confirms to us that Rafaël Harvey-Pinard will not return in this game. We are talking about a lower body injury, probably the right ankle.

Let's remember he missed 24 games this season due to a right ankle injury." - Patrick Friolet, RDS

Yes, it looks very bad...

"Forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard will not return to the game this afternoon (lower body)." - Montreal Canadiens

Martin St-Louis offers a promotion to Brandon Gignac, who is designated to replace Harvey-Pinard (who is injured)

An opportunity for him to seize.

"Unsurprisingly, the Canadiens announce that RHP will not return to the game today.
Brandon Gignac took his place on the penalty kill." - Marc Antoine Godin

Gignac also took his regular spot at 5 on 5.
