We briefly talked about it on Friday, but the excellent Pierre Houde has just confirmed a change regarding the broadcast of the Montreal Canadiens game.
For a rather obscure reason, the TVA Sports network has decided not to broadcast today's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche (in Quebec Nordiques colors), so the game will be broadcast on RDS.
As we reported yesterday, considering the significance of today's matchup between the Nordiques/Avalanche and the Canadiens, fans aren't happy with the NHL's decision to schedule it for 3:00 p.m.
Schedule and channel change compared to the Montreal Canadiens' usual calendar
The vast majority of the time (95% of the time), the Montreal Canadiens always play at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday nights on TVA Sports, but that is not the case today, so please note these changes.
The game will be broadcast at 3:00 p.m. on RDS and TSN (and not on TVA Sports today).
"Don't forget, friends, the Canadiens are on RDS today at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time!
We're waiting for you!
The Avalanche will be wearing the Nordiques jersey.
And we have some great nods for you!"
- Pierre Houde

This promises to be good!
Let's also remember that young goaltender Jakub Dobes will be in net for his team, with this second game coming less than 24 hours after Montembeault's stellar performance yesterday.
Jakub Dobes, 24 years old, has a record of 8-2-2 this season, with a goals-against average of 2.89 and a save percentage of .897.
