Ivan Demidov to play with Jake Evans and Emil Heineman tonight

Tonight, the Canadiens are in Washington for the second game of their first-round series. And while we knew that the 18 skaters would be the same as in Game 1, we didn’t know if that would translate into new lineups.

So, in warm-up, we kept an eye on everything… and noticed a change: Ivan Demidov took his reps with Jake Evans and Emil Heineman.

Joel Armia was with Patrik Laine and Alex Newhook.
