As the season begins to come to a close, the Montreal Canadiens will be wrapping up the season series with the Detroit Red Wings, having a chance for a split with a regulation win to give each team five points from the four games.
Each night now as the Habs prepare for these final matches there is a new player or more added to the injured list. The press box gains three new players tonight: Jake Allen, Jordan Harris, and Alex Belzile, who has sustained a leg fracture.
Cayden Primeau has rejoined the team and will get the start. He had just been up with the club one week ago to play versus the Philadelphia Flyers. He tries for his first NHL victory of the season during what is an extended pause for the AHL club ahead of its next game on Friday.
