MONTREAL -- Here are the projected lineups the Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night at Bell Centre.
PANTHERS
Tomas Fleischmann - Stephen Weiss - Scottie Upshall
Jonathan Huberdeau - Peter Mueller - Alex Kovalev
Tomas Kopecky - Shawn Matthias - Mike Santorelli
Jack Skille - Jerred Smithson - George Parros
Ed Jovanovski - Keaton Ellerby
Injured: Kris Versteeg, Sean Bergenheim, Marcel Goc, Erik Gudbranson
Scratches: Michael Caruso, Tyson Strachan
The Panthers called up Drew Shore after placing Kris Versteeg on injured reserve with a groin injury. It is unclear who Shore would replace in the lineup, seeing as the Panthers held an optional skate Tuesday morning following their 4-0 loss in Ottawa a night earlier, and coach Kevin Dineen did not speak to the media after practice. These are the lines the Panthers used in the game against the Senators.
CANADIENS
Max Pacioretty - David Desharnais - Erik Cole
Rene Bourque - Tomas Plekanec - Brian Gionta
Brendan Gallagher - Alex Galchenyuk - Brandon Prust
Colby Armstrong - Ryan White - Travis Moen
Tomas Kaberle - Francis Bouillon
Scratched: Lars Eller, Mike Blunden, Yannick Weber
Injured: Petteri Nokelainen
One game after Alex Galchenyuk made his NHL debut in the Habs' opener Saturday, it will be the turn of Brendan Gallagher in Tuesday's game. He will be taking the lineup spot of center Lars Eller, with Galchenyuk sliding to center after playing left wing Saturday. Coach Michel Therrien said he didn’t like Eller's intensity in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
