Will Kirby Dach regain his lost scoring touch on the first line with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki?
The Montreal Canadiens will be without forward Juraj Slafkovsky for a week, starting Tuesday night against the New York Rangers at the Bell Centre. Note the slightly later start time of 7:15 p.m. (TSN2, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM).
Kirby Dach will rejoin Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki on the top line. Rookie Oliver Kapanen will centre the second line.
