Description

Keep Drouin - KK - Toffoli together, Anderson and Suzuki keep playing with Perry. I really like how Evans is doing on the 4th line and honestly I'd find it fair to let him keep the role as 4C and try out Staal on the wing on that 4th line. If Staal plays very well, let him take Evans spot as 4C or let him take Perry's spot on Suzuki and Anderson's line.

Also, if Kulak and Romanov can't play well together I say we try out Schueneman in the NHL even if it's just for a game.

Staal will be a middle 6C after a couple of games.

Suzuki is fat and slow, only seems at ease at the right faceoff circle. Put him back on RW.

I wouldn't call Suzuki fat or slow, in fact I'd probably call him the opposite but I like the idea of Suzuki and KK playing together.

The Canadiens lines at practice today were:

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Perry - Suzuki - Anderson
Drouin - Staal - Toffoli
Byron - KK - Lehkonen

Edmundson - Weber
Kulak - Petry
Romanov - Mete

and it looks like Price will get the start.

Well he did slow down, as you can see in all his offensive zone entries. And my guess is that the reason for that is the fact he is 220ish right now.
