Line Changes for Brendan Gallagher and Joe Veleno
At this morning's practice, the situation was calm with 18 healthy skaters on the roster, so no major changes were expected on the ice. Apart from monitoring the goaltending status, the team is currently steady without much upheaval.

Although the Canadiens are not introducing new players, the coach has shuffled the offensive lines slightly compared to Saturday’s game against the Senators at the Bell Centre. Brendan Gallagher and Joe Veleno have swapped positions.
Offensive Lines
- Caufield – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
- Newhook – Kapanen – Demidov
- Bolduc – Dach – Gallagher
- Anderson – Evans – Veleno
This adjustment aims to mix things up strategically without major roster moves.
