The Canadiens are right back at it after an overtime game yesterday afternoon. While they didn’t come away with the win, there were some encouraging performances, most notably from a tweaked fourth line of Nicolas Deslauriers, Michael Chaput, and Kenny Agostino, along with Brett Kulak who was making his Canadiens debut.

Julien was happy with the effort from nearly all involved, it seems. Despite the loss, he’s leaving his defence corps intact for tonight’s meeting with the Bruins, and inserting Carey Price for the home half of a back-to-back.

Up front, Matthew Peca, who wasn’t able to have much of an impact despite a promotion to the Finnish Line, will sit out in favour of Charles Hudon, who will be hoping to have some success with his skilled linemates.

An injured Bruins team will send Tuukka Rask out to face the Canadiens as they look to stay ahead of Montreal in the Atlantic Division standings. The netminder is looking to regain his form after losing the starter’s role to Jaroslav Halak. After having his points streak snapped yesterday in Buffalo, Max Domi will be doing his best to ensure the netminder doesn’t get comfortable in enemy territory.
