Ryan Poehling was among the first players on the ice at Montreal Canadiens practice on Monday morning, and will seemingly be entered straight into the lineup.
Canadiens lines at practice:
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Drouin-Domi-Armia
Lehkonen-Poehling-Byron
Cousins-Thompson-Suzuki (Weal)
Mete-Weber
Chiarot-Petry
Reilly-Fleury
Kulak-Folin— u0410rpon Basu (@ArponBasu) November 4, 2019Fresh off his recall from the American Hockey League’s Laval Rocket, Poehling will play between Paul Byron and Artturi Lehkonen. Nick Suzuki will return to the line with Nick Cousins and Nate Thompson.
Both Byron and Lehkonen have struggled to produce to start the season, and the Canadiens are likely hoping that Poehling can provide the spark while Jesperi Kotkaniemi is out with a groin injury.
