Despite a 3-0-1 record under Doug Weight thus far, there will be more lineup changes in his fifth game as head coach.
As the Montreal Canadiens visit Brooklyn for the Isles’ final pre-All-Star Game match, forwards Shane Prince and Stephen Gionta exit the lineup as healthy scratches to make way for the return of Anders Lee (illness) and Anthony Beauvillier (bruised foot) after one-game absences.
Weight said taking Prince out was a tough decision. "He'll be back in soon."
