A few hours before the highly anticipated match-up between the Montreal Canadiens and the Florida Panthers, we have just received some information about the line-up that will be used by Martin St-Louis.
First, please note that, unfortunately, the Montreal Canadiens' promising new young defenseman, Justin Barron, will have to wait before playing his first game with his new team.
Too bad, I was really looking forward to see him in action, but it's only a postponement in his case. He mentioned it yesterday, he is looking forward to play and was hoping to play tonight, but he respects the process.
- The CH's other new defenseman, William Lagesson, will also be left out tonight, as will Quebec forward Mathieu Perreault.
- Tyler Pitlick, acquired in the trade that sent Tyler Toffoli to the Calgary Flames, will finally play his first game in a blue-white uniform tonight.
