The Montreal Canadiens are dealing with several potential roster changes following their recent game. Defenseman Kaiden Guhle’s status is uncertain after suffering what looks like a leg injury, while forward Kirby Dach also left the game following a nasty collision.

Also in this week's notebook, Lane Hutson's self-evaluation, the second line's emergence and an update on an under-the-radar prospect.

Alexandre Carrier is the one leading the offensive push in the final eight minutes. Montembeault makes a save while falling into his net to at least keep this game alive. Hutson is off to the box for interference, and Detroit has a chance to put this one away. Montembeault goes to the bench in one last effort to get this game close.
