Tonight’s lineup, which features the likes of Carey Price, Shea Weber, Max Domi, and Jonathan Drouin, will air at 7 pm on both RDS and TSN2.
Earlier today, Habs bench boss Claude Julien announced that Price and 20-year-old goalie prospect Cayden Primeau (a New Jersey-native) will split time in goal for tonight’s preseason game.
Along with Primeau, tonight’s lineup will feature two other of the Habs’ top five prospects, according to NHL.com, as forward Nick Suzuki, acquired in the Max Pacioretty trade, will suit up as will the 56th overall pick in the 2017 draft, defenceman Josh Brook.
