KANATA, Ont. - After two consecutive losses, Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien has decided to shuffle the deck ahead of the Game 6 match up against the Ottawa Senators.
He confirmed on Sunday morning that winger Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau will be back in the game, but did not specify who he will take off the roster.
Parenteau, who was out with an upper-body injury, played in only the first game of the series. Therrien said he intended to use him on the power play, which has scored only once out of 19 opportunities so far.
Note that Dale Weise did not take part in training. Therrien simply said at the press briefing they Weise “should play.”
No changes will be made to the blue line. This means that power play specialist Sergei Gonchar will have to wait longer before getting his chance in the playoffs this season.
Meantime, forwards Clarke MacArthur and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, injured in the last game, took part in the morning practice and will be the starting lineup Senators.
