foreplay

Quebec Wild goalkeeper Marc-André Fleury is in serious trouble with 5.25 goals conceded so far.

Head coach Martin St-Louis has not changed his squad for the duel against the wild ones. That means Juraj Slafkovsky is still plagued by injuries and goalkeeper Jake Allen will get his fifth start in 2022-23. In the case of the Slovak, St-Louis cannot say whether the absence will be extended. As for Allen, who will have Fleury as a counterpart, he will have plenty to do at least offensively against a formation in form.

“Your power play works, we’ll have to stay outside the penalty box and if we have to use penalties, we have to do the job well,” wished the Canadian coach in a press conference, knowing full well that Wild Banking is aiming for the second-best power play in the National League . This team has not yet achieved the desired results and will surely go hungry. So we should expect a great performance from him and we have to be solid.

Some good news

After the day’s meeting, the Habs will play their next four games abroad and can count on new travelers for the occasion. In fact, St-Louis has hinted that forward Joel Armia (upper body) and defender Joel Edmundson (back) will make the trip. Both men trained in control-free jerseys on Tuesday but are making good progress, according to the head coach.

“It’s great to see you both again. They will be with us throughout the trip and we’ll see later,” he simply commented.
