We have several lineup changes to announce for the Montreal Canadiens today.
First, let's note that Martin St-Louis will be adjusting several lines in preparation for tonight's game
against the Calgary Flames.
Caufield - Suzuki - Dach
Newhook - Evans - Slafkovsky
Anderson - Dvorak - Gallagher
Heineman - Kapanen - Armia
Extra: Pezzetta
Jake Evans is now the Canadiens' new second-line center, which is well deserved but still says a lot.
Cayden Primeau missed his chance to overtake Samuel Montembeault as the number one
This was confirmed by Martin St-Louis, and Montembeault will once again start in goal for the Canadiens tonight.
Had Cayden Primeau managed to play a solid game against
the Washington Capitals and string together a few strong starts, he could have really surpassed Montembeault, but that clearly wasn't the case.
So, it's status quo for now.
Primeau, 25, has a record of 1-2-1 this season, with a goals-against average of 4.38 and a save percentage of .861.
One might even wonder if he's on the verge of losing his spot in Montreal entirely.
