Surprising Lineup Change Made Official Ahead of Tonight's Game

As he had pointed out on Monday afternoon, Samuel Montembeault will be the starting goaltender, taking over from Jake Allen who faced the Los Angeles Kings last Saturday.

However, he also confirmed that veteran Joel Armia will play his first game since his recent call-up, replacing Michael Pezzetta in the fourth unit.

It's quite surprising to see that the Finnish forward will rejoin the Canadiens' lineup, who, despite good performances with the Laval Rocket, was rather ordinary during his first call-up with the Canadiens.
