Canadiens Announce Starting Lineup for a Special Night Against the Utah Mammoth
Tonight at the Bell Centre, the Montreal Canadiens face the Utah Mammoth as part of Hockey Fights Cancer night, a very important game for the Habs.
The team returns home in front of their fans after a trip to New Jersey, and a strong atmosphere is expected right from the opening minutes.
Many wanted to know if there would be any changes to the lines and, most importantly, who would be in goal.
We now have the answer.
The Montreal Canadiens' Lineup Is Now Confirmed
No changes to the forward lines.
Roles and responsibilities remain the same.
"Everybody was on the ice at Canadiens' morning skate on Saturday, except for Mike Matheson, however the defenseman is expected to be in uniform against the Mammoth."

In my opinion, what will be interesting tonight is to seeif Kirby Dach will continue his momentum. I think he really seems to be gaining confidence, especially when driving toward the net.
Also, I had the impression that Nick Suzuki might not have been at 100% in the last game. I really hope he's in top shape tonight, because the Habs need him completely healthy!
I'm also looking forward to seeing if Zach Bolduc and Ivan Demidov will be used a bit more. They played very little on Thursday.
Just two or three extra shifts can change their whole night.
The game starts at 7:00 p.m. at the Bell Centre.
