Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

Josh Anderson has been suspended two games for his boarding penalty against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. His absence leaves a gap physically in the lineup, so the question becomes who will step into that role? Scott examines whether the two game suspension is justified or not, and what the Habs need to do next to get Josh Anderson back into form for the rest of the season.

Also in the news is that Rem Pitlick was held out of practice on Monday before being placed on waivers with the intent of him joining the Laval Rocket. Scott takes a look at why Pitlick was the player on waivers, and how his season has been disappointing compared to his career season last year. If he clears, what role can Pitlick play for the Rocket? If he's claimed, where does that leave the Montreal Canadiens?

Finally, with two forwards missing for the immediate future, Juraj Slafkovsky and others now have a change to establish a spot higher in the the Montreal lineup. Who has the most to gain, and who has the most to lose with the Habs now down a pair of forwards?
