Indeed, we've all been eagerly waiting to see Patrik Laine in action, and the wait is finally over. The forward is confirmed to be playing in this first game.
He'll be on a line with Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach, and they will form the top trio for the matchup.
Notably, there will be even more to watch, as Arber Xhekaj, Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux, Oliver Kapanen, and other exciting players will also be part of the action.
For Kirby Dach, it will be his first game in almost a year, and for Patrik Laine, his first in 9 months. You can bet they'll be happy to get back on the ice, shake off the rust, and stretch their legs.
For Canadiens fans, this will be the official first opportunity to see Patrik Laine in his new colors.
It's clear that Martin St-Louis wants to see this trio develop chemistry. He's also showing interest in a defensive pairing featuring Lane Hutson and Logan Mailloux.
We'll see where it leads. Enjoy the game!
