The Montreal Canadiens will try to forget their meltdown from the day before Tuesday night by visiting the Seattle Kraken as part of their fourth and final game of a trip west.
The Habs lost a frantic game at the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, falling 7-6 in overtime after wasting a four-goal lead. Having picked up three points on his journey, he’ll have his hands full against some surprising rivals. In fact, the Kraken ranks second in the Pacific Division with 33 points.
In principle, head coach Martin St-Louis should rely on Jake Allen for net defense. Samuel Montembeault fought in BC and gave up seven times on 32 shots. The Canadian will also be without Brendan Gallagher (lower body) and David Savard (upper body).
On the Seattle side, hoping that Shane Wright could well attend the meeting; Recalled from the American League, he trained with a fourth line Monday. His likely presence would mean the first and fourth picks of the recent National League draft will cross blades as Juraj Slafkovsky plays for the Bleu Blanc Rouge.
The Canadian will not train during the day. St-Louis will discuss with the media later in the afternoon.
