Montreal Canadiens team news and players to watch
The Canadiens kicked off their preseason Monday night in Philadelphia with a solid win, thanks to goals from Luke Tuch, David Savard, Emil Heineman, Josh Anderson, and Alex Barre-Boulet.
Montreal's headline move this offseason was bringing in dynamic forward Patrik Laine. Laine has netted 20 or more goals in six of his eight NHL seasons, with impressive totals of 36, 44, 30, and 28 in his first four years with Winnipeg. However, his time in Columbus was hindered by injuries and off-ice challenges.
Laine could inject some much-needed firepower into an offense already featuring stars like Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Juraj Slafkovsky.
Injuries: Guhle (abdomen), Harvery-Pinard (leg)
