Martin St. Louis makes key lineup changes ahead of the Canadiens-Bruins matchup
The Montreal Canadiens are preparing for another big night at the Bell Centre, as the Boston Bruins will be the visitors for a matchup that is always high in intensity.
The two teams are neck and neck in the standings with 22 points, even though Boston has played two more games...
The Bruins were coming in on an impressive seven-game winning streak before falling 5-3 to the Senators on Thursday night, which adds a sense of urgency to their visit to Montreal.
On the Canadiens' side, the players were clearly motivated after practice. They see this Saturday night rivalry as the perfect chance to bounce back strong in front of their fans. Josh Anderson summed it up well by saying:
"It's a team we love to face. It'll be a physical game, so a good opportunity for all of us to be involved physically, to be at our best."

Martin St-Louis confirmed that Samuel Montembeault will be the starting goalie for this important game.

Forwards:
13 Caufield - 14 Suzuki - 20 Slafkovsky
77 Dach - 91 Kapanen - 93 Demidov
76 Bolduc - 71 Evans - 17 Anderson
49 Davidson - 90 Veleno - 11 Gallagher

77 Dach - 91 Kapanen - 93 Demidov
76 Bolduc - 71 Evans - 17 Anderson

And since the Habs decided to release their starting lineup at the last minute, we're now learning that there are two big surprises in tonight's formation.
As you can tell, it is of course the arrival of Jared Davidson and Dach now being paired with Ivan Demidov.
More details to come.
