The head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, spoke to the media in a press conference in the last few minutes.
He answered numerous questions, notably following Saturday night's strong win against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he was also asked repeatedly about the two new faces who arrived as reinforcements in recent hours.
Adam Engstrom was recalled from the Laval Rocket, and Alexandre Texier was signed by Kent Hughes (a one-year contract worth one million dollars).

Reporters genuinely wanted to know what the head coach's plan was for the newcomers, but Martin St-Louis refused to discuss how he intends to use them.
"Martin St. Louis says he's still not sure how he will use new forward Alexandre Texier or who his linemates might be at this point."

St-Louis also hinted at his potential lineup ahead of the road trip following Texier's signing.
To watch the press conference in question, it's right here:
Martin St-Louis did, however, agree to reveal this:
"We like the potential of the player or else we wouldn't have signed him and now it's how we're going to use that and I don't know yet.
Martin St-Louis says he doesn't know how quickly Alexandre Texier will get into the line-up or who he will play with when he does draw into a game; right now it's about Texier getting acclimated with the team, learning their systems."

I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next, but yes, it's definitely a good thing to see internal competition, both up front and on defense.
