Andrei, who disappointed this season with only two goals and four assists, began meeting in the third trio alongside Robert Lang and Tom Kostopoulos, while Sergei found himself in the fourth with Steve Bégin and Georges Laraque.
After a good night's sleep, Carbonneau has seen fit to offer another chance to Guillaume Latendresse alongside Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay.
The other line of attack was formed by Tomas Plekanec, Alex Kovalev and Chris Higgins.
"We try to revert to three we had earlier this season when we worked well and won matches," said Carbonneau.
"We will try to keep those lines intact in the coming weeks."
Maxim Lapierre and Mathieu Dandenault were left out.
A discussion with Sergei
When asked whether the fact Carbonneau demote the brothers Kostitsyn was a warning to them, he replied: "We should not see a particular message. The warning serves to everyone. Sergei is the fourth in the trio because they did not want to send in the stands.
"Even if it can not just rely on that, Sergei played well during attacks and it will play its time I had a discussion with him. I want him back at the base and he works harder, "said Carbonneau.
"Whether you play in the second, sixth or 82nd trio (!), I want to see a sustained effort from every player. The results will follow if you work hard. It was enough. The time has come to act. "
Latendresse rewarded
Latendresse is the big winner of changes, having climbed from fourth to first trio.
Earlier this season, Latendresse had benefited from the absence of Chris Higgins to play on the left of Koivu and he had his best moments, collecting a goal and five mentions aid during the first five meetings.
Latendresse believes he played well in matches in St. Louis and Raleigh, but he admits to having been surprised by his promotion.
"I kept his head high and I think the coach has seen things he loved, says a Latendresse was all smiles. I worked hard. "
He had a good discussion with Carbo during training on Wednesday.
"I needed to talk to him, to ask questions, said Latendresse. I wanted to understand certain things. It made me well. "
A first for Higgins
Higgins filed for the first time yesterday with a trio Kovalev and Plekanec.
"I do not think of a more competitive match in the past along with Kovy, he said. He has a way of playing very special and I will quickly m'ajuster trying to myself to receive his passes.
"As for Plekanec, adaptation will be easy since played together with the Hamilton Bulldogs, and it is a fantastic player," said Higgins.
"This is my third trio of change since my return to the game, he pointed out. This is not always easy, but it is normal that the coach is seeking the best combinations. We'll see now whether this experiment will be successful or if it will last only three games ... "
