Mike Matheson Will Play A Crucial Role on Defence

Mike Matheson is excited about his new role with the Montreal Canadiens. He played for the Pittsburgh Penguins last season. Mathesson will replace Jeff Petry and will be a mentor for young defencemen. Joel Edmundson is injured and won't be available for training camp. Kaiden Guhle, Justin Barron, Jordan Harris and Mattias Norlinder will most likely receive an opportunity to play in the NHL this season, so there will more ice time available. There will also be struggles as the new defensive group attempts to form an identity.
