The new captain of the Montreal Canadiens will take to the ice tonight for the first time since he had the "C" sewn into his jersey. After recovering more quickly than expected, Max Pacioretty will play alongside Tomas Plekanec and Brendan Gallagher. The Habs are going with a strong lineup, with the SEGA line also to dress for tonight's preseason match-up, as well 5/6ths of what will likely be the regular defense corps when the puck drops on the regular season next Wednesday. The 6th opening in the defensive alignment will go to Habs' 2015 1st round draft choice Noah Juulsen, who makes his debut as a Montreal Canadien tonight.
