The Habs will play their final preseason game Saturday as they travel to
Quebec City to take on the "host" New York Islanders. New York will be
sending a split squad for this game as they also host the Devils tonight.
The Isles are winless so far in the preseason; tonight’s test will be crucial
for Montreal’s bubble players as they will face a notably weak New York group.
Here is the Habs’ reported lineup:
Cammalleri – Plekanec – Kostitsyn
Pyatt – Halpern – Lapierre
Eller – Boyd – Moen
Pouliot – White – Darche
Gill – Gorges
Spacek – Subban
Picard – O’Byrne
As for the Islanders, the following is the split squad they are sending:
Forwards: Justin DiBenedetto, Micheal Haley, Rob Hisey,
Jesse Joensuu, Krys Kolanos, Tomas Marcinko, Dean McAmmond, Nino Niederreiter,
Jed Ortmeyer, Jon Sim, David Ulmstrom, Jeremy Yablonski,
Defence: Anders Eriksson, Bruno Gervais, Travis Hamonic,
Jack Hillen, Mark Katic, Dylan Reese
Goalies: Mikko Koskinen, Manny Legace
