in penalties3-2 sHabs
Hopefully Allen takes a full month leave.
Looks like new forward lines tonight:
Caufield - Suzuki - Monahan
Drouin - Dach - Anderson
Dadonov - Dvorak - Gallagher
Slafkovsky - Evans - Hoffman
you are nuts, seriously
Sleep deprivation from newborn..:I hope little Jakey is ok and doesn’t have the sniffles. He better remember his more from his parents excusing the absence.
There is 3 slugs in the lineup, gotta play them somewhere. I don’t know why Pezzetta is not playing.Lets promote the slug JD on the top 6
Because Marty is a coach and when teams don’t score, coaches shake up the lines regardless of the underlying analytics. That’s just how they roll, as they say.Hoffman has been garbage. JD can't be worse.
Though I'm surprised they broke up Monahan/Dach.
From The Athletic:
It’s only been three games, so a sample size warning is in effect, but so far, the combination of Kirby Dach and Sean Monahan up front is putting up some incredible underlying numbers. With the two of them on the ice at five-on-five, the Canadiens have controlled nearly 70 percent of the shot attempts, 63.3 percent of the shots on goal and 73.3 percent of the expected goals. All of that has only resulted in a 1-0 advantage in actual goals — Monahan’s go-ahead goal late in the third period of the season-opener — but if they continue playing this way, the goals should come.
