Montreal Canadiens

It appears the Canadiens will dress their projected second line for tonight's preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers as Kirby Dach, Patrik Laine, and Alex Newhook were all on the ice for Monday's morning skate.

Kirby Dach spoke about

Veteran defenceman David Savard will skate on a pairing with Lane Hutson in tonight's game and praised the on-ice vision of the exciting young blueliner.

"It makes sense even if it doesn't make sense in my head but when you see it after, what he's trying sometimes it feels like it's crazy but it's been working - his vision is elite," Savard said at Monday's practice.

The Canadiens skated with the following lines:

Newhook - Dach - Laine

Roy - Dvorak - Anderson

Barré-Boulet - Kapanen - Heineman

Davidson - Condotta - Tuch

Hutson - Savard

Xhekaj - Barron

Engström - Mailloux

He skated with several other players who will not be in the lineup for tonight's preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Dahlin sustained an undisclosed injury at practice on Wednesday. Head coach Lindy Ruff is not concerned with the severity of the injury.

“It was just one of those things, he was passing the puck and something happened,” Ruff said. “So, you know, [as] precaution, got him off. He’s going to get looked at and then we’ll find out what’s going on."
