MONTREAL – Fifteen Habs skated ahead of Saturday’s game against the Golden Knights at the Bell Centre.

Samuel Montembeault will face Vegas after shutting out the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 on Monday.

The Canadiens haven’t played a game since the start of the week and have held three intense and structured practices in Brossard. Head coach Martin St-Louis liked the team’s engagement and noted that a strong start against the Golden Knights will be key.

“For me, today, it’s about how fast we can get into game mode, you know? Because [Vegas] is three in four. They’re in game mode. So, for us, our start is really important tonight,” he said.
