Lapierre recalled

The Canadiens have recalled prospect Maxim Lapierre from Hamilton to fill in for the injured Alex Kovalev. I'm guessing that Claude Julien doesn't plan on using Pierre Dagenais any more than his usual 5 minutes per game, unless Lapierre is just being called in as backup in case of another injury. We'll see tonight.

It looks like Alexander Perezhogin will get to see some more time with Saku Koivu and Richard Zednik, as it seems like Julien has penciled him in on the number 1 line tonight.

Also, Yann Danis will be getting the start in goal tonight. Cristobal Huet is still in Hamilton on a conditioning stint.
