In recent hours, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed bad news regarding Jordan Harris. The defenseman will not be in the starting lineup tonight due to an injury sustained last Saturday against the Bruins.
Although Martin St-Louis mentioned on Sunday morning that number 54 was a "game time decision" for the match against the Canucks, Harris played over 20 minutes in that game. There is strong hope that number 54 has not worsened his injury and that he will be able to rejoin the lineup soon.
Therefore, Swedish defenseman Gustav Lindstrom will take his place alongside Arber Xhekaj in the Montreal defensive brigade. Additionally, Michael Pezzetta will also be out of the lineup, replaced by Jesse Ylonen on the fourth unit.
