On the defensive side, questions remain about what the Canadiens' management plans to do with David Reinbacher.
If he makes the lineup, Martin St-Louis will have to choose between Jayden Struble and Arber Xhekaj.
However, Jayden Struble revealed his thoughts about his teammate Arber Xhekaj.
Arber Xhekaj and Jayden Struble Are Great Friends
In an interview with Stu Cowan for the newspaper, Jayden Struble spoke about his relationship with Arber Xhekaj.
"I love this guy. You can't do anything about it we're fighting for the same spot, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends.
If he comes in and he's better, he'll play. If I come back and I'm better, I'll play. We'll always have lunch together.
It hasn't affected us so far and I don't really see any change."

Both players will have to compete for a spot in the starting lineup.
It's a great thing that they respect each other like this, as it allows them to push themselves.
In addition, Struble spoke about the addition of Noah Dobson to the Canadiens' lineup.
"He's excellent. He's an extremely talented defenseman. He should bring a lot to us, especially offensively. But I feel his defensive game is sometimes overlooked too.
He's a good player. He's going to help us.
Whenever you can add a player like him, it's really exciting."
