Canadiens Face Bruins in High-Stakes Battle: Anderson Returns to Bolster Habs

The Montreal Canadiens will be facing off against the Boston Bruins tonight in a high-stakes battle. With another tough opponent on the schedule, the Canadiens are hoping for another focused performance. Despite a grueling schedule over the past two weeks, the team will have the benefit of Josh Anderson‘s fresh legs. Anderson will be returning to the lineup after missing some games due to injury.

To make room for Anderson, Jesse Ylönen will be sitting out. Additionally, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard has been moved to the fourth line as coach Martin St-Louis tries to create four lines that can be trusted against a difficult opponent like the Bruins.

On defense, the coach has made some alterations. Mike Matheson and David Savard have been paired together, and Kaiden Guhle and Jayden Struble will form a second pairing. It will be interesting to see how this middle duo fares, as Bruins coach Jim Montgomery will likely try to exploit matchups against Montreal’s bottom lines.
