On the Canadiens and hard decisions. If the one to sit Sam Montembeault and start Jacob Fowler was hard, the one coming up for Martin St. Louis is much harder. How does he keep Alexandre Texier in the lineup? The answer seems obvious, and is extremely hard www.nytimes.com/athletic/711...

nytimes.comCanadiens’ decision to play Jacob Fowler not nearly as hard as the one that awaitsIn addition to Fowler, the Canadiens welcomed Alexandre Texier back to the lineup. Keeping him there will require hard decisions.
