Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens continued to be hammered by bad injury news this week as they announced that Rafaël Harvey-Pinard will be out at least two months with an injury and that Jordan Harris will also be out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. Given that both players were day to day, and then played again before being downgraded with longer term injuries, the hosts have some concerns about why they were allowed to play if they weren't 100%. It leaves a struggling team now much thinner in terms of reserves and brings back a lot of bad feelings from the last two seasons as well.

To counter Harris' absence going forward, the Canadiens announced they've also recalled defenceman Mattias Norlinder from the Laval Rocket to join them in Anaheim. While Jayden Struble earned the first call up honours, Norlinder might be a bit more surprising considering his recent struggles. Is this a potential last chance showcase for the offensive defenceman, or is there still time for him to stake his claim in the hierarchy? Also, with injuries mounting how far are we from Joshua Roy getting his promotion to the NHL this season?

Finally, with the Thanksgiving holiday right around the corner in the United States, the hosts are having the first ever Locked on Canadiens Thanksgiving dinner draft! Scott and Laura select their best starting six options that make up the ideal Thanksgiving meal from appetizers to the the main course, to the most decadent of desserts! Who ended up with the better draft after all is said and done?
