Lines and defense pairings at morning skate – Sept. 21

TROIS-RIVIÈRES – Monday’s morning skate looked a little different. 

Sure, the Canadiens were on the ice, as they’ve been for the past few days for training camp. 

But instead of lacing their skates in Brossard, the backdrop for today’s pregame session was in the Mauricie region, specifically at the Colisée Vidéotron, where several Habs fans got to watch the Canadiens on the ice ahead of their preseason matchup against the Ottawa Senators as part of Kraft Hockeyville. 

Before getting to work, the team received a warm welcome as they walked down the red carpet, signed autographs, and took pics with fans.

It was a memorable morning for all in attendance as they watched head coach Martin St-Louis lead a series of drills with his players expected to play in tonight’s game. 

Here’s a look at the projected lineup:

Game time for the Canadiens’ third preseason game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. Watch the action on SN1 and TVAS, or listen in on the radio on TSN 690, 98.5 FM.
