After seeing Rem Pitlick demoted to the Laval Rocket this morning, the return of Michael Matheson to the Habs' defensive line was inevitable. Changes to the lineup were expected for Saturday's game.

Indeed, Michael Matheson was practicing with Joel Edmundson on a regular pair today. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/PFrioletRDS/status/1593653576622084096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1593653576622084096%7Ctwgr%5E00d52677228754237f2fc35053254870c42e6da4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.letsgohabs.com%2FDeveloppement-majeur-a-entrainement-des-Canadiens-et-le-pire-se-confirme-pour-Arber-Xhekaj-177602'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.letsgohabs.com/lnh/nouvelles/Developpement-majeur-a-entrainement-des-Canadiens-et-le-pire-se-confirme-pour-Arber-Xhekaj' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Vincent Fournier, Let's Go Habs</a>
