Lines and defense pairings at practice – Oct. 6

BROSSARD – The Canadiens hit the ice for their first practice following the conclusion of training camp at the CN Sports Complex on Monday.

The skate came a day after the Habs made some roster moves, assigning a trio of players to Laval and placing two more on waivers, and offered a look at what the lines and defense pairings might be on opening day.

Here’s a look at those lines and pairings featured by head coach Martin St-Louis:
