Martin St-Louis confirms the last-minute rumor, and there will be changes to the Canadiens' lineup

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 confirmed the news in the last few minutes. This means that Kovacevic won't have been back for very long.
