A few days after the 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Ottawa Senators, the Montreal Canadiens return to Ontario, this time to face the Toronto Maple Leafs: a team that has also lost at the hands of the Senators in recent days.
Montreal fielded a very inexperienced roster against the Senators, and so we will see the opposite tonight, as we have a roster that might be fairly similar to the one dressed on opening night.
Lately at practice, a few of the lines have changed slightly, as Brendan Gallagher had moved up to the top line alongside Max Pacioretty and Jonathan Drouin, which sends Ales Hemsky to a line alongside Phillip Danault and Alex Galchenyuk.
