Rolling into the second game of the pre-season, the Montreal Canadiens trotted out their second lineup iteration. The newly acquired Max Domi made his debut in a Canadiens uniform, lining up alongside fellow debutant Joel Armia and Jonathan Drouin. Also debuting was Nick Suzuki, who came to Montreal in the Max Pacioretty trade.
The Florida Panthers rolled out what will be very close to their opening-night roster, including Roberto Luongo between the pipes. Opposite him was Carey Price, who would split half the game with Antti Niemi.
