Corrado: I agree with Martin St. Louis starting Fowler

The Montreal Canadiens are facing a pivotal moment as they prepare for a game against the St. Louis Blues, with discussions centering around player lineups and performance. Goalkeeper Jakob Dobish, who has struggled recently, may have the opportunity to play in front of family and friends in St. Louis, despite the team's current reliance on Jacob Fowler, who has been performing well. The Canadiens aim to secure two points against a team they perceive as beatable, especially in light of injuries to key players like Nick Suzuki.

In a surprising move, defenseman Arbor Jacki, previously praised for his strong play, is scratched from the lineup in favor of Adam Engstrom. This decision raises questions about coaching strategy and player management, as Jacki's recent performance did not warrant a benching. The situation reflects the competitive nature of the roster, where several players are vying for limited spots, and speculation about potential trades or changes within the team continues.

On the offensive front, Oliver Kapanen's integration into the top line has not yielded the expected results, leading to discussions about the need for other players, such as Phil Deneau, to step up in the absence of Suzuki. Deneau's recent performances have been commendable, showcasing his versatility and ability to alleviate pressure on the team. As the Canadiens prepare for their matchup, they are also keeping an eye on the Blues, who are undergoing their own transition with younger players like Mason McTavish stepping up in scoring.

TSN analyst and former NHL defenceman Frankie Corrado, joined to talk about why he likes the decision to start Jacob Fowler again, Jakub Dobes needing to control things within his power, the interesting decision to not start Arber Xhekaj and start Adam Engstrom instead and much more.
