The two players has been out of the line up due to injury since early December. Alex Galchenyuk suffered a lower-body injury (knee) and Andrew Shaw has recovered from a concussion.
We’re at the six week mark for both Galchenyuk and Desharnais injuries.
Galchenyuk back on the top line with Pacioretty and Radulov tonight— Amanda Stein (@amandacstein) January 14, 2017
Danault – after doing a formidable job on the 1st line – will play with Byron on Shaw on the third line.

Despite losing a plethora of important players, the Canadiens have put together an encouraging effort in the past month. The return of Galchenyuk and Shaw bodes quite well for the team moving forward.
