We have good news for you, dear Montreal Canadiens fans. We mentioned it yesterday afternoon, and now it’s confirmed. The Carolina Hurricanes will not be sending their “A” team to the Bell Centre ice tonight, far from it.

As journalist Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reported, the Canadiens’ opponents have gone from words to action.

After what head coach Rod Brind’Amour said yesterday afternoon:

The Hurricanes have now announced four call-ups!

“The Canes have recalled forwards Skyler Brind’Amour and Bradly Nadeau as well as defensemen Domenick Fensore and Riley Stillman from the Chicago Wolves.”

– Carolina Hurricanes

Four AHL players expected to replace four top Hurricanes players tonight against the Montreal Canadiens

We’ll take it, as they say!

So don’t be surprised if names like Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, and company are sent to the press box for tonight’s game at the Bell Centre.

And don’t be surprised if none other than Skyler Brind’Amour [Rod Brind’Amour’ son] suits up against the Habs!

We’ll be watching this closely for you and will keep you updated as soon as the Canes release their official final lineup.

And you, what’s your prediction for tonight’s game between the Canadiens and the Hurricanes?

Puck drops at 7:00 PM live from the Bell Centre, Go Habs Go!
