The Canadiens' coach didn't stop there. Of course, with one forward returning, another must sit out, and the immediate thought is Joshua Roy. However, that is not the case, as Jesse Ylonen is the one left out.
So, in the short term, Roy has gained the coach's trust and remains in the lineup. This means he'll get to experience the Montreal/Boston rivalry for the very first time.
Indeed, it's a very good decision, as the young player has been performing well in his early NHL appearances. Jesse Ylonen must find a way to bring consistency to his game, or his future with the Canadiens may be short-lived.
