According to the information revealed and presented by the Montreal Canadiens organization in the last few hours, we will have a nice surprise on the first line tonight.
There are two options, but one thing is certain, Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield will have a new partner.
According to the morning practice lineup, it will be Jesse Ylonen:
CH practice this morning.
Caufield-Suzuki-Ylonen
Hoffman-Dach-Anderson
Dadonov-Dvorak-BURROWS (for Drouin)
Pezzetta-Pitlick-Harvey-Pinard
Savard-Harris
Xhekaj-Wideman
Edmundson-Barron
Kovacevic
Montembeault
Primeau
Allen (a portion of the training)
- Via Jonathan Bernier
And according to the CH's official release, it will be Jonathan Drouin, who was absent this morning:
We also have the following explanation:
"It's possible that Drouin can't play tonight. Also possible that the Habs go with 11F, 7D, and possible that Ylonen plays with Caufield and Suzuki. No confirmation from Martin St. Louis yet..."
- Eric Engels
So basically, from what we understand, if he's able to play tonight, Drouin will have a great opportunity to play on the CH's top three, along with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki.
But if he has to sit out (due to an unknown injury), it's young Jesse Ylonen who will get a huge promotion, along with Suzuki and Caufield.
It will be really interesting to see tonight!
Which one would you rather see with Cole and Nick?
It is also confirmed that Matheson will be in for tonight, we will give you confirmation who gets left out.
