As the Montreal Canadiens steam ahead towards their qualifying-round matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins, plenty of lineup questions remain. While the attention is chiefly focused on the absence of Max Domi there are plenty of other lineup choices that lay ahead for the Canadiens. Namely, who is going to round out the defence with Alexander Romanov not being allowed to play, and Brett Kulak and Xavier Ouelle currently not practicing.
The left side hinges primarily on Kulak returning to practice as he provides a proven option to slot in alongside any of the options on the right side.
