Head coach Dominique Ducharme confirms that Jesperi Kotkaniemi will dress tonight in place of the injured Jake Evans.

 

Evans left Thursday's Game 1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs after two periods and did not return to action, ruling him out just before the start of the third period. 

Evans left briefly for the dressing room in the second, but was seen back on the bench later in the period. Montreal went on to take Game 1 2-1.

The 24-year-old scored three goals and added 10 assists over 47 games with the Habs this season, his second campaign with the team.
