The Montreal Canadiens are currently on the ice in Brossard for a practice in preparation for tonight's game in Montreal against the Sens.
For the occasion, head coach Martin St-Louis revealed some new lineups, and there is a big surprise on the first line.
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Pitlick - Evans - H-Pinard
Heineman - Beck - Armia
Pezzetta - Gignac - Ylonen
Defense:
Guhle - Savard
Xhekaj - Wideman
Schueneman - Harris
You read that right! Juraj Slafkovsky is placed on the first trio with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, the trio that all fans dreamed of seeing in action. This means that Suzuki will be playing his very first 2022 preseason game with Slafkovsky!
Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau will be the goalies in uniform.
The young Slafkovsky played a solid game yesterday, his best with the CH, and he's being rewarded immediately. It will be really interesting to see this trio in action tonight!
