Eric Engels Drops Major Scoop on Ivan Demidov Ahead of Crucial Game vs. Blackhawks
For several days now, there's been speculation that his long-awaited first game in a Canadiens uniform would be tonight, Monday night,
against the Chicago Blackhawks.
However, it had never been confirmed or clearly stated.. until this morning!
Eric Engels appears to confirm that Ivan Demidov will play tonight
It's certainly not the surprise of the year, but it's still notable that Engels is the first to state it this clearly.
"Big day in Montreal.
Ivan Demidov making his NHL debut and the Canadiens can clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Blackhawks."
- Eric Engels
It will indeed be a big day for the Montreal Canadiens organization, and there will be plenty of action throughout the day.
So, there will be a new change to Martin St-Louis' lineup, and it'll be interesting to see which forward will be left out.
It will also be interesting to see what decision is made regarding Arber Xhekaj.
Will he once again be sent to the press box by Martin St-Louis?
Or will he be inserted into the lineup alongside Demidov?
Rest assured, we'll keep you updated on every development in this story.
Let's also remember that tonight's game is a very important one for the Montreal Canadiens if they want to secure a
spot in the playoffs.
