MONTREAL -
Final cuts have been made
and Habs hockey is back for real. Here are all the ways for fans to connect with the team this week.

Welcome home Habs
The best way to watch the Canadiens is in person, and fans can finally do so again beginning Wednesday.
For the first time since 2013, the Habs will open the regular season on home ice - against the rival Toronto Maple Leafs no less.
Expect a can't-miss pregame show, the return of the team's popular tailgate featuring a live RDS broadcast of Hockey 360 and the 5à7, the Bell Blue Carpet, plus more than a few new activations.

Get photobombed by fame in the club's new AR booth, have your tweet seen on a giant outdoor screen using
#GoHabsGo
for a chance to win one of three $100 Tricolore Sports gift cards, and boogie down by the DJ booth before heading into the Bell Centre.
The great Escape
Speaking of heading into the Bell Centre - up to four brave fans will be challenged instead with getting out of a hidden room in the arena as part of the
Bell Canadiens Escape
.
Yes, the Habs built an escape room, and it's just as awesome as it sounds.
Designed by
Échappe-Toi
and presented by Bell, the first-of-its-kind concept will see a quartet of fans attempt to break out before puck drop - else miss the start of the game.
