New lineup alert: St-Louis announces he is closing in on the lineup for the first game of the regular season
In the last few minutes, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis unveiled his lineup (trios and duos) for tonight's game against the Ottawa Sens.
These lineups are important because, as reported by Patrick Friolet of RDS, St-Louis had this to say about his lineups for the day
"We're trying to get closer to what we want to have to start the season."
So, unlike the trios of the last few days, these are very telling trios and say a lot about what the combinations might look like for the first game of the season.
St. Louis says, however, that the absences of Nick Suzuki and Joel Armia (injuries) muddy the waters.
Anyway, here's the Montreal Canadiens' lineup for tonight's game in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador against the Ottawa Senators.
The complete lineup :
Caufield-Monahan-Pitlick
Gallagher-Dach-Hoffman
Slafkovsky-Dvorak-Anderson
Pezzetta-Evans-Dadonov
RHP-Drouin-Ylonen (the trio of extras)
Defensemen:
Guhle-Savard
Matheson-Leskinen
Xhekaj-Bowey
Extra defensemen: Schueneman, Harris, Wideman and Barron
Cayden Primeau will be the starting goalie.
