Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis decided to completely change his lines on Monday for the game once morest the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Thus, Sean Monahan finds himself alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield in the first unit.
See Martin St-Louis’ press briefing above.
Jonathan Drouin, who returned to action this weekend once morest the Washington Capitals, trained with Kirby Dach and Josh Anderson on what might be described as the second line.
Juraj Slafkovsky is the big loser from these changes as he finds himself on the fourth line alongside Jake Evans and Mike Hoffman.
The third line consists of veterans Evgenii Dadonov, Christian Dvorak and Brendan Gallagher.
We can understand St. Louis wanting to stir up the soup since his troops were shut out by the Red Wings in Detroit on Friday and they only scored one goal once morest the Washington Capitals on Saturday.
“I wanted to try something else without necessarily changing everything,” he said during his press briefing.

Cole Caufield – Nick Suzuki – Sean Monahan

Evgenii Dadonov – Christian Dvorak – Brendan Gallagher
