The Habs received some good news from the waiver wire on Monday as all four of their players, most notably Christian Thomas, all cleared and have been assigned to St. John’s of the American Hockey League.
On Saturday, the Canadiens (0-1-2) hit the road in search of their first victory of the preseason. They’re off to Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs (3-1-0). Here are tonight’s game notes.
After losing in the shootout on Thursday, the Habs (0-0-2) will once again look to pick up their first win of the exhibition season as they host the Blackhawks (1-1-0). Here are today’s game notes.
On Thursday, the Habs will look to pick up their first win of the preseason as they host the Washington Capitals (1-0-1). This will be the first of three games in as many nights for the Canadiens.
The Habs kick off their 2015 preseason on Tuesday night as they host division rival Toronto. The Leafs are coming off a pair of wins on Monday night in split squad action against Ottawa.
Training camp is now well underway and while it’s too early to make any grand proclamations, we’ve seen enough so far to make some notes and comments about how things are going as we approach the preseason.
On Friday morning, the Habs announced that Max Pacioretty is the new captain of the team following a player vote. He becomes Montreal’s 29th captain in franchise history and the third American-born player to have the honour.
With training camp set to start this week, one of the players who will be in the spotlight is Jarred Tinordi. He no longer has waiver exemption resulting in some questions surrounding the 23 year old defenceman.
With training camp set to start next week, the Habs have brought in another forward to compete for a roster spot as they inked winger Tomas Fleischmann to a professional tryout contract.
