The Montreal Canadiens are making their final preparations for the new season, which they will begin this Wednesday against the Maple Leafs in Toronto.
After several attempts, the puzzle assembled by Martin St-Louis begins to take its final form.
Here is what the CH lineup should be for its opening match, if we rely on the composition of the trios and duos at Monday’s training:
Attackers:
Caufield – Suzuki – Anderson Newhook – Dach – Slafkovsky Pearson – Monahan – Gallagher Harvey-Pinard – Evans – Ylönen Pezzetta
Defenders:
Matheson – Savard
Guhle – Kovacevic
Xhekaj – Harris
Barron
Guardians:
Allen Montembeault Primeau
It is therefore Josh Anderson who should have the privilege of playing alongside Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki in the first trio. Michael Pezzetta is the extra striker. On the blue line, Justin Barron is the seventh defenseman.
Earlier today, defenseman Mattias Norlinder and forward Emil Heineman were the final two players cut from training camp.
As they do not have to go through waivers, they will report directly to the Laval Rocket, in the American League.
