We have an initial decision from Martin St-Louis to report, with the Montreal Canadiens, ahead of the game against the Buffalo Sabres.
He has decided to call a mandatory morning skate, scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
After Tuesday's loss in Washington, the Canadiens chose to change their morning routine before facing the Buffalo Sabres.
That means one thing: we are awaiting Martin St-Louis' press conference to get clear answers, especially regarding the lineup and in goal, and we'll be watching closely for clues on the ice.
On Monday, the Canadiens defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-3 at the Bell Centre.
On Tuesday, they let a 3-2 game slip away in overtime against the Washington Capitals, in the second of a back-to-back.

I wouldn't even be surprised if a goaltender were sent back to the Laval Rocket as early as today, but let's wait and see.
The opponent, meanwhile, comes in with numbers that demand respect.
Buffalo has a 25-16-4 record and has been playing winning hockey for quite some time with the Sabres.
In the Atlantic, things move fast, and a single game can move you up or drop you down a spot. The Canadiens do not have the luxury of letting the schedule pass them by.
"The Canadiens will hold a morning skate Thursday at 11:30 a.m. ET."
