In the last few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens held their morning practice in preparation for their matchup against the Los Angeles Kings.
As we reported, there are several changes to note, including Kirby Dach who is back at center and Josh Anderson who resumes his position on the first line.
On the other hand, another element to note:
"Jonathan Drouin took the second reps on the wing of the fourth trio.
Therefore, he is not expected to play against the Kings." - JF Chaumont
It's hard to say if Drouin is a healthy scratch or if he's just not ready to return to the game, but the fact is he'll have to wait again.
It's a shame, the opportunity was right for him tonight. To be continued!
