The Habs are down two forward bodies, with Torrey Mitchell and, now, Devante Smith-Pelly both on the mend with lower-body injuries. The Canadiens' depth will get a chance to make an impression tonight, with Sven Andrighetto getting the call to play on the second line alongside Alex Galchenyuk and Lars Eller. The call-up came right after Andrighetto scored a highlight-reel overtime goal Friday night in St. John's.
The injuries have also created a second chance for Alex Semin, who will play on the fourth line. Semin had one assist, four shots on net, and was plus-two in 9:01 of ice-time on Friday against the Islanders.
