The Montreal Canadiens are currently in Dallas to play the Stars, which will be the last game before the team takes several days off to celebrate Christmas. According to information reported by Luc Gélinas of RDS, everything indicates that Evgenii Dadonov will be left out for the occasion, which means that Michael Pezzetta will be back in the lineup. According to the journalist, Anthony Richard could possibly get a promotion by replacing Dadonov on the third line, along with Christian Dvorak and Mike Hoffman. Finally, it will be a second consecutive start for Jake Allen. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LucGelinasRDS/status/1606352123406553090'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/StuCowan1/status/1606353284381298688'> </a></blockquote></div>
