With his NCAA career just coming to an end days ago, the professional chapter of Sean Farrell’s hockey story begins tonight at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The forward made a name for himself with his playmaking acumen at Harvard, and will look to bring that to his new team.
Cayden Primeau gets the start in goal after being recalled specifically for this game. With Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Jake Evans also in the formation, that will be three of the Canadiens’ seventh-round selections from the past nine years playing in the game, joining sixth-rounder Michael Pezzetta, who had the shootout winner (and Tiger Williams celebration) last night, and fifth-rounder Brendan Gallagher, who reached the 200-goal milestone.
Montreal will be without Kirby Dach, who was pulled from the contest last night by a concussion spotter and is now listed as out with an upper-body injury. It’s been a tough year with injuries for the centreman, and now he’s recovering from a new ailment that will force him to miss more time down the stretch.
Montreal Canadiens projected lineup
Scratched: Rem Pitlick, Chris Wideman
Injured/Ill: Josh Anderson, Joel Armia, Paul Byron, Cole Caufield, Kirby Dach, Christian Dvorak, Kaiden Guhle, Sean Monahan, Juraj Slafkovský, Arber Xhekaj
