MONTREAL – A little over a dozen players hit the ice in preparation for Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre. 

Oliver Kapanen, who was day-to-day with an injury, and David Reinbacher will make their season debuts tonight. Meanwhile, Jacob Fowler will get the start. 

All three of them were among the group of 15 guys who laced their skates for the optional session.

Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The Canadiens are also hosting Molson FANatic Saturdays at the Bell Centre. For tickets, click here.
