ANAHEIM – The Canadiens will ice the same lineup against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday as the one that went toe to toe for 50 minutes against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, only to crumble over the final 10 minutes.
It is on those first 50 minutes that Claude Julien is basing his decision more so than the final 10.
“For 50 minutes we were in the game last game,” Julien said. “We made some real bad mistakes. We don’t feel right now there was any change that was going to make our team better tonight, so we’re sticking with our lineup.
