It's live from New Jersey where the Canadiens will play their next game on Wednesday night. For the occasion, Martin St-Louis has already confirmed a goaltending change, with Samuel Montembeault getting the start for the game.
However, that's not the only change. Despite the team's success against two offensive powerhouses, the Oilers and the Avalanche, a defenseman is sitting out as Johnathan Kovacevic will be scratched in favor of Justin Barron.
"Martin St-Louis confirms Justin Barron's return to the lineup tonight. Johnathan Kovacevic will not play."
Martin St-Louis confirmed the news in the last few minutes. This means that Kovacevic won't have been back for very long.
