Canadiens Return to Brossard Before Facing the Senators and Find Themselves in a Surprising Spot

According to journalist Priyanta Emrith, a Canadiens practice is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in Brossard this Thursday morning, even though the team traveled yesterday.

I'm certain that head coach Martin St-Louis will use this session to prepare his group for Saturday's upcoming game against the Ottawa Senators at the Bell Centre.

For those who haven't heard yet, this next part will make you smile...

With a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, the Habs currently sit first in the Atlantic Division - tied in points for the top spot in both the Eastern Conference and the overall NHL standings.

I have to say, it's a scenario few analysts would have predicted at this point in the season.

The Western trip ended with three wins in four games, including another thrilling overtime victory against the Seattle Kraken, thanks to Cole Caufield's game-winner.

Among the standout players were Jakub Dobes, Nick Suzuki, and Juraj Slafkovsky.

Thursday morning's practice in Brossard will therefore be closely watched, as it could give us a hint at the next lineup adjustments.

As mentioned earlier this morning, the Montreal Canadiens have decided to send Joshua Roy and Marc Del Gaizo back to the Laval Rocket so they can continue developing in larger roles.
