The veteran stayed on the ice for extra work at the Montreal Canadiens’ morning skate today, along with Joe Veleno.
These are the Montreal Canadiens’ extras for Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Head coach Martin St-Louis is therefore making no changes to his lineup.
No lineup changes for Canadiens in Game 3 as St-Louis backs group after Tampa split
Despite the storm of the past few days surrounding Dach, despite Gallagher’s unusual smile at yesterday’s practice, despite the speculation, St-Louis is sticking with his group.
The series is tied 1-1, and both games in Tampa went to overtime.
St-Louis has no reason to shake things up.
Journalists Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports and Pascal Friolet of RDS confirmed the extras this morning.
– Renaud Lavoie
Players doing extra work at practice:
Gallagher, Veleno, Engstrom, Reinbacher, Montembeault.”
– Patrick Friolet
Game 3 tonight at 7:00 p.m. at the Bell Centre!
This decision from Martin St-Louis places significant pressure on Kirby Dach, who may be forced into a cautious, mistake-averse approach rather than playing freely and generating offense.
