Emil Heineman is not happy since he won’t play tonight

The Canadiens have a big test tonight.

After all, with a regular season win against the Senators, the Habs may qualify for the playoffs.

And for the occasion, Martin St-Louis will not make any changes to his lineup. This means that forward Emil Heineman will not play.

Is the Swede still injured, or does Martin St-Louis want to stick with his winning formula?

Heineman missed the team’s last two games… and the Canadiens were still able to get two important wins against the Preds and the Red Wings.

But anyway: according to what Tony Marinaro mentioned on the JiC show, Heineman is frustrated that he won’t be dressed tonight.

Marinaro doesn’t know if Heineman is mad because he is injured or because MSL won’t use him:

The frustration is understandable – especially if he is healthy now.

Because in fact, this is the most important game of the season, and this is the greatest game in the last few years for the Canadiens.

A win in 60 minutes which can ensure the team’s participation in the playoffs, this has not happened in a long while in Montreal. And it is certain that all the guys want to help the Canadiens get their ticket…

But at the same time – and Tony Marinaro is right to mention that Heineman is mad, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

This shows that he has the success of the team at heart, and he wants to be part of it.

And if he’s mad because he was left out, it’s going to be up to him to give it his all in his next audition and demonstrate that his coach made a “bad” decision.

The ball is in his court.


Overtime

As long as we are talking about the match: let us remind that it is Samuel Montembeault who will get the start against the Senators.

It is going well for Monty recently, who has won five starts in a row.

Will he be able to keep it going tonight against the Sens, who will have to do without Brady Tkachuk’s services?
