Very bad news for Canadiens Juraj Slafkovsky

With the new lineups announced by Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis, Juraj Slafkovsky didn't get good news.

While Evgenii Dadonov and Jonathan Drouin will play on the second line, while Mike Hoffman will play on the third line, Slafkovsky will remain on the fourth line.

With the suspension of Josh Anderson, many experts believed that the young Slovakian would have had a unique opportunity to make his mark on the second or third line.

However, St. Louis decided otherwise and the kid will have to wait before seeing his ice time increase.
