Last-minute big decision by Martin St-Louis to compensate for the loss of Kirby Dach
As you probably already know, the news has just come out about Kirby Dach. He is seriously injured and will be out for a long time. This is a real disaster for the team, but also for his development.
In connection with this major loss at the center position of the second line, Martin St-Louis has made a significant decision. He has already chosen his replacement, and it will be Alex Newhook who will act as the center for this unit.
"With Kirby Dach out, the #Habs Martin St-Louis says Alex Newhook will play center on the 2nd line. According to MSL, for now, he plans to start with the 12 forwards currently on the list (no call-ups for now)." - Priyanta Emrith
It will be interesting to find out who will play as the winger on this line to replace Newhook's former position. For now, we don't have this information.
At the same time, we learn that the Canadiens will not be making any call-ups, at least in the short term, as the coach confirmed he wants to use 12 forwards. This means that Michael Pezzetta will make his debut on the fourth line Tuesday night.
I anticipate that Rafaël Harvey-Pinard should get a promotion to the top-9 of the lineup.
