We have bad news to report to fans in Quebec City, concerning forwards Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, and Juraj Slafkovsky.
All three will NOT be in uniform tonight live from Quebec City for the matchup between the Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators at the Videotron Centre.
"The Suzuki trio, as well as Guhle and Dobson (both recovering from groin discomfort), will not play in Quebec.
Demidov, Newhook, and Kapanen will play together, but for the rest, the lines are a mixed bag compared to what we've seen so far." - Marc Antoine Godin

This is obviously very bad news, especially for all the young (and not-so-young) fans of Caufield as well as Suzuki in Quebec.
The people of Quebec will not see Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki in action tonight
Personally, I know that my little 8-year-old godson will be extremely disappointed to hear this news, but well, you can't blame Martin St-Louis for not playing everyone.
At least Ivan Demidov will be there, along with Lane Hutson!
Please also note this:
"Martin St. Louis says the plan is to have Jakub Dobes play the entire game in goal tonight for Habs vs. Ottawa Senators in Quebec City." - Stu Cowan
We will keep you updated with all the details and updates, but this is what we know (for the moment) ahead of tonight's game in Quebec City.
Gallagher - Dach - Bolduc
Newhook - Kapanen - Demidov
Laine - Beck - Veleno
Xhekaj - Evans - Anderson
Xhekaj - Hutson
Struble - Carrier
Engström - Matheson
Newhook - Kapanen - Demidov
Laine - Beck - Veleno
Xhekaj - Evans - Anderson
Xhekaj - Hutson
Struble - Carrier
Engström - Matheson
This is a much more competitive lineup than what we have seen in the past during games in Quebec City, so hats off to Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens for that.
The people of Quebec may still be happy overall, but it is clear that the absence of Suzuki and Caufield is very bad news for many fans who were eagerly waiting to see them tonight.
It will have to be next time!
