Reinbacher gives Canadiens the option of three lefty-righty defensive pairs

Sportsnet reports that David Reinbacher played alongside Arber Xhekaj against Buffalo, giving Montreal three lefty-righty defensive pairs. Coach Martin St. Louis said the balance opens up more plays off defensive-zone faceoffs. Sportsnet says it remains unclear whether Reinbacher will keep a spot on the third pair when Mike Matheson returns from injury.
