Montreal Canadiens shuffle lines ahead of Game 4, Jesperi Kotkaniemi appears out

The Montreal Canadiens were expected to make some lineup changes as they are down 3-0 in their Stanley Cup Final series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Ahead of Monday’s Game 4, we know what some of those changes are.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi was wearing a grey jersey as an extra at morning skate while Jake Evans was wearing a regular jersey.

The line rushes also hinted at changes as three of the lines saw some movement.
