The Montreal Canadiens and Claude Julien have had to make changes to their lines for the first time since training camp started.
Joel Armia and Paul Byron left Thursday’s game with injuries. Armia is suffering from a concussion while Byron will be evaluated day-to-day. Both players did not practice on Friday.
Corey Perry, who is on the team’s taxi squad skated with Tyler Toffoli and Jesperi Kotkaniemi on the team’s third line. If Byron is unable to play on Saturday, he will be replaced by Michael Frolik.
