Granted, it's a preseason game, but the Montreal Canadiens will be back on the ice tonight after a four-month hiatus - their last game played on May 12th in Tampa Bay on a dark night that ended their season.
Tonight, we'll get to witness that glimmer of the start of a new season: camps are in full swing, and countless players are tagging along with the big team trying to make an impression in the twilight of the real NHL schedule on the horizon. Tonight, we'll be seeing a Canadiens lineup entering into its first real competition (after the intra-squad game they played on Sunday).
