Joel Armia was out for the game against the Seattle Kraken. That hurt, but it happens and there’s no timetable for his return. Patrik Laine was the player who was back in the lineup and that was a positive but all of these changes to the lineup are tough on a team.

The Montreal Canadiens got some reinforcements to take on the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday night, as Patrik Laine was back in the lineup.

The Canadiens gave Owen Beck another shot. He played five games at center and one at wing. He didn’t pass the audition but it didn’t take a lot to think that he wouldn’t. He just doesn’t have the body of work to let you know that so he’s heading back to Laval.
