Claude Julien and co. decided to make some necessary adjustments to the Canadiens’ line-up ahead of game number three. Andreas Martinsen and Nikita Nesterov were the odd men out, allowing Torrey Mitchell and Brandon Davidson to step in on Sunday night.
Alex Galchenyuk slid in alongside Artturi Lehkonen an Andrew Shaw, moving up in the line-up and switching to centre.
The lines seemed much more balanced, with the fourth line contributing much more defensively, and, perhaps unsurprisingly with Mitchell back in the swing of things, some offensive flair as well.
