On one hand, Martin St-Louis has confirmed the return of Christian Dvorak to the game tonight, as he will play his first match of the season. At the same time, we learn that Michael Pezzetta will take Jesse Ylonen's place in the lineup.
Another interesting piece of news from the Habs is that, with Dvorak returning at center, it's confirmed that Alex Newhook will go back to playing as a winger.
Although he did his best to help the Canadiens between Kirby Dach's loss and Dvorak's return, Newhook's true position is as a winger. He has had his best performances in this role, which allows him to make better use of his speed.
There's a suspicion that St-Louis might use Sean Monahan as the second center, which would be great news for the young Juraj Slafkovsky if he could play with an experienced, offensive, and complete center like the 29-year-old veteran.
