The head coach of the Montreal Canadiens confirmed a big rumor during an interview

During an interview between the first and second periods of the intra-team game, the head coach of the Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, confirmed a big rumor about his lineup. Indeed, the Quebecer admitted that the vast majority of players who were absent yesterday would be in the Montreal roster for the first preseason game against the New Jersey Devils tonight.

This means we can expect Josh Anderson, Alex Newhook, Juraj Slafkovsky, Joshua Roy, Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris, David Reinbacher, Logan Mailloux, and Samuel Montembeault all to be in uniform for tonight's matchup.

It will be very interesting to see how the organization's young prospects will perform in their first game against another NHL team. There is no doubt that all eyes will be on defensemen David Reinbacher and Logan Mailloux, who are still trying to surprise in order to earn a spot with the big club.

One thing is for sure, we are thrilled to see that the Tricolore will finally play a preseason game. It's now official, the 2023-2024 season is approaching very quickly!
