Claude Julien experiments with his forward lines

After a game in which the Montreal Canadiens struggled to get things going, relying on their goaltender to bank them a point, Claude Julien has shaken up the lineup he initially stuck with after a key win versus the Boston Bruins. All four forward lines are affected in the shakeup. The Los Angeles Kings, who currently occupy the 30th spot in the standings, is a good team to experiment against, and Julien has really tinkered with his alignment this morning.
