After a horrible season where the Canadiens finished last in the entire NHL, fans will get to catch a glimpse at their reward for that season: first overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky. Slafkovsky will make his Bell Centre debut on the ice, months after he was selected there at the NHL Draft.

The other players who made headlines on the first night of the draft will play in trade acquisition Kirby Dach and 26th overall pick Filip Mesar.

Cole Caufield, Kaiden Guhle, and Jordan Harris are also among the players in the Canadiens lineup after missing Sunday’s scrimmage.

The Canadiens provided some updates, with four players: Antoine Coulombe, Jared Davidson, Cedrick Guindon, and Daniil Sobolev released from training camp and returned to their CHL teams. There are now 71 players remaining in camp.

Nick Suzuki is skating and expected to return next week. Joel Edmundson is still out indefinitely but is rehabbing. Madison Bowey is day-to-day with an injury that has kept him out of all on-ice workouts so far in camp.

For the New Jersey Devils, second overall pick Simon Nemec will not make the trip. Slafkovsky’s Olympic teammate and former Canadien Tomas Tatar will be in the lineup alongside Nico Hischier.
