After a disastrous third period in their last game versus the Boston Bruins, the Canadiens enter tonight’s contest with some good news, as Jonathan Drouin returns to the formation after missing time with headaches. He will slot onto a familiar line with Christian Dvorak and Josh Anderson, as Dominique Ducharme hopes to reignite that chemistry.
There’s also some bad new as Mike Hoffman will be out long enough to need to go on IR, and Jake Allen indeed has a concussion from his contact with Dylan Larkin in the first game of this road trip. Tonight it will be Cayden Primeau getting the call for his first game of the season, taking on the Rangers’ quality power play in his seventh NHL start.
