Lines For First Playoff Game Tonight
Here are the line combinations for tonight's first playoff game against Boston:
Alex Kovalev - Tomas Plekanec - Andrei Kostitsyn
Sergei Kostitsyn - Christopher Higgins - Michael Ryder
Steve Bégin - Bryan Smolinski - Tom Kostopoulos
Mathieu Dandenault - Maxim Lapierre - Guillaume Latendresse
Andrei Markov - Mike Komisarek
Roman Hamrlik - Patrice Brisebois
Josh Gorges - Mark Streit
The main surprises are that Mark Streit is on defense, Ryan O'Byrne is out and Mathieu Dandenault is in. Not sure why O'Byrne isn't playing against the Bruins when everyone pretty much expects them to play extremely physical. Oh well, we'll see what happens.
Go! Habs! Go!
