Lines and defense pairings at morning skate – Mar. 28

NASHVILLE – The sun was shining over Bridgestone Arena on Saturday morning, and the mood inside was, well, just as bright.

Confidence is high for the Canadiens, who arrive riding a three-game win streak into tonight’s matchup against the Nashville Predators. Still, despite the upbeat energy, the group remains locked in on the job ahead.

Here’s the projected lineup for Saturday’s contest:

Patrik Laine and Arber Xhekaj also participated in the session, while Alexandre Texier remains day-to-day with an injury.

Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. ET in Smashville.
