Yesterday, during the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Vegas Golden Knights, Martin St-Louis made an interesting change.
To cap off a solid game in Vegas, where Montembeault stood tall and the Canadiens enjoyed a great locker-room moment, Nick Suzuki once again finished with a different winger, reuniting with a familiar face on his line.

Martin St-Louis decided to reunite the trio, putting Juraj Slafkovsky back with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield at the end of the game against the Golden Knights.
That's interesting! I'm really looking forward to seeing if that will still be the case later today against the Colorado Avalanche, but don't be surprised if Slafkovsky is back with Suzuki and Caufield to start the game.
"Juraj Slafkovsky is back on the Habs 1st line with Cole Caufield & Nick Suzuki, at least for now."

Without making much noise, they were one of the best lines in the NHL before being separated.
A situation to watch today!
Zachary Bolduc, 22 years old, has 12 points in 23 games this season, including six goals, and he really increased his production when he was placed alongside Suzuki and Caufield.
Juraj Slafkovsky, 21 years old, also has 12 points in 23 games this season, including seven goals, and he seems to really be thriving on his own line with the young Oliver Kapanen and Ivan Demidov.
I'm very curious to see what Martin St-Louis does here, but one thing is certain: both options seem to be working well for now, and he clearly seems open to making changes during games.
And you, personally-do you prefer seeing Zachary Bolduc with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, or do you prefer Juraj Slafkovsky on the first line?
