Habs lineup notes for October 28: Nikita Scherbak out with injury, Torrey Mitchell appears to be his replacement

The Montreal Canadiens didn’t have a full practice ahead of their game with the New York Rangers on Saturday, but rather held an optional skate, with the goalies, rookies, and bubble players taking to the ice with Alex Galchenyuk and Jonathan Drouin.

12 Habs on the ice this morning:

Benn
Davidson
De La Rose
Drouin
Galchenyuk
Hudon
McCarron
Mete
Mitchell
Montoya
Morrow

The fact that Drouin is participating shouldn’t be too surprising, as he was described by Max Pacioretty as “hockey obsessed” in the off-season.
