Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens have confirmed two changes up front, and indeed, we have new forward lines.
This Monday, here's what can be read in the official statement from the Canadiens following the morning skate:
"Despite Montreal's three-game winning streak, the Canadiens head coach made one change to the Habs bottom six during line drills on the at the CN Sports Complex.
Brendan Gallagher skated with Kirby Dach and Zachary Bolduc, while Joe Veleno joined Jake Evans and Josh Anderson."

That gives us the following lineup:
"Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield
Newhook-Kapanen-Demidov
Bolduc-Dach-Gallagher
Anderson-Evans-Veleno
Matheson-Dobson
Hutson-Struble
Xhekaj-Carrier"

We didn't expect any changes to the lines today, but I'm not against this new arrangement for the 3rd and 4th lines!
Martin St-Louis Makes Two Changes Up Front
This could be a great opportunity for Brendan Gallagher to generate more offense, playing on a line that leans more toward attack, alongside Kirby Dach and Quebec native Zachary Bolduc.
Gallagher, 33, has 6 points in 12 games this season (0 goals).
Veleno, 25, has 0 points in 7 games this season.
It'll be interesting to see them in these new line combinations-one of which clearly has a more defensive role under Martin St-Louis.
The Canadiens face the Philadelphia Flyers at 7:00 p.m. ET tomorrow.
