Acquired in a trade, Jesse Puljujarvi has finally obtained his work visa after a week in Ottawa, and is joining the Hurricanes tonight. It would be a quick turnaround to get him into game action, so his debut with his new team may have to wait.

That’s little reprieve for the Canadiens who will still be taking on one of the deepest rosters in the NHL, and a team that has lost just three games since January 15. There is a win over Montreal in that run, one the Habs hope to avenge on home ice.

Montreal would have to do that without the services of Kaiden Guhle and Justin Barron on the back end. Chris Wideman is back healthy, meaning the emergency condition that allowed Frédéric Allard to make his Habs debut on Sunday is up, and Wideman returns. Carolina will be trying to get their top players out against him at every opportunity, so Montreal will need a good showing from him if they’re going to have a shot at pulling off an upset win.
