While the Canadiens are in Carolina, preparing for their matchup against the Hurricanes on Thursday night, there was a morning practice.

Obviously, with the number of transactions that have occurred, it went somewhat unnoticed, but the Canadiens issued a statement regarding young players Juraj Slafkovsky and Alex Newhook.
