This will be a second game in two nights for Columbus, who beat the poor Pittsburgh Penguins 6 to 2here, this one that ended a sequence of six consecutive defeats.
The Tricolore, for its part, lost 3 to 0 against Wild du Minnesota in the last game of a season in which the foreigner got complicated. The team, which has not reported that one of its last matches, disputes the premiere of a series of four home meetings.
The Montreal lineup informed the last five games against Columbus. This will be the first of three clashes between the two teams this season.
“It’s going to be a good check for us, it’s a team that works a lot, which will never give up,” underlined CH defender David Savard in the morning. We’re going to have to match that and even take it to another level.”
At the stadium of his coach, Martin St-Louis, Savard believes that his team must be bolder in attack.
“We are playing better and better defensively, but we have to concentrate on creating a little more possibilities,” he explained. “We spend time in the offensive zone but we take more or less risk.”
“We are hard to play against defensively, but not offensively,” a later comment from St-Louis. In a lot of time of posesión, but that does not mean offensive (…) we are not connected enough, we do not play fast enough together for it to become an attack.
“We continue to work on this,” he added.
Justin Barron will return to the lineup for the Tricolor when Jayden Struble took his place. Samuel Montembeault will be devant le filet.
Two Jackets players can experience the retrouvailles with their former team: this will be true that the case for veteran Sean Monahan, while defender Jordan Harris, obtained the last success in exchange for Patrik Laine, is a more uncertain case for tonight . , not used in each match by coach Dean Evason.
The latest addition to the temple of renowned hockey, former CH captain Shea Weber, will be honored before this evening’s game.
