The Montreal Canadiens are making a lineup change — and it’s a big one.

Alex Newhook returns to the lineup Thursday night as the Habs host the New York Islanders at the Bell Centre. With Newhook back, Zachary Bolduc and Joe Veleno are out — and that decision raises some serious questions.

What does this mean for Bolduc’s development? Is this a short-term reset or something bigger? And where does Newhook slot in as Martin St. Louis reshuffles his forward lines?

On today’s episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down:

Why Newhook is back now

The reasoning behind sitting Bolduc

What this means for Joe Veleno

The impact on Montreal’s top-nine

The bigger picture for the Habs playoff push

Is this the right move? Or are the Canadiens sending the wrong message to their young players?
