The Habs haven’t won since last Thursday against the Calgary Flames. Since then, they have lost to Red Wings (in overtime), Bruins, Rangers, and Penguins.

Earlier today, coach Dominique Ducharme confirmed that the Canadiens will dress seven defenders and 11 forwards tonight, with Chris Wideman replacing Michael Pezzetta.

Even more defensive reinforcements could come in the near future, as Joel Edmundson practiced with the team today. Edmundson has yet to put on the suit this season.

Yesterday, the team announced that General Manager Marc Bergevin tested positive for COVID.

Sam Montembeault will start in goal for Montreal.
