The Sens rolled out these lines at practice (lots to unpack below) and DJ Smith confirmed Matt Murray will be the starter:
Tkachuk - Stützle - Gaudette
Sanford - Paul - Brown
Formenton - Tierney - Ennis
Kelly - White - Watson
Chbabot - Zub
Holden - Zaitsev
Mete - Brown
Meanwhile, Montreal implemented these lines in their most recent game (a shutout win over Buffalo on Wednesday):
Caufield - Suzuki - Anderson
