TEAM COMPARISONS
It’s only preseason –– and game one at that –– so we won’t look too far into Monday’s matchup, but players on both sides will be eager to make an impression and fight for roster spots. If last year’s exhibition calendar taught us anything, it’s that there won’t be any lack of intensity in the building on Monday.
While the Canadiens have yet to confirm their roster, the Penguins revealed theirs on Sunday, highlighted by Rafael Harvey-Pinard, who will make his unofficial return to the Bell Centre.
