For the past two games, Justin Barron has been in the stands. The defender needs to improve defensively, and Martin St-Louis was keen to send him a message.
His place was taken by Johnathan Kovacevic, who had himself skipped his turn a few times.
But now, for tonight’s game in New Jersey, it’s Barron who will be in uniform. After two games in the stands, Barron will take Kovacevic’s place tonight.
Justin Barron IN, Johnathan Kovacevic OUT vs @NJDevils @CanadiensMTL @TVASports
