In the recent minutes, we mentioned this news to you, which has now been officially confirmed by Martin St. Louis and the Montreal Canadiens. There will be notable adjustments to the lineup as a number of regular players will be excluded. Martin St. Louis is prioritizing the protection of his top players, including the first line and other key Habs players. He has also indicated that additional players will be brought into the lineup through a call-up from the Laval Rocket. The specific names for these changes are expected to be announced shortly. While Martin St. Louis is not pleased with this decision, he believes it is necessary due to recent injuries in pre-season games and the anticipated strong lineup of the Ottawa Senators. To mitigate risks, he is making these lineup adjustments. Speculatively, Kent Hughes may call up Luke Tuch, Lucas Condotta, Sean Farrell, and potentially Florian Xhekaj. Notably, Martin St. Louis has confirmed that Arber Xhekaj, the older brother of Florian, will be playing against the Senators. St. Louis humorously mentioned his hope for Arber to complete the game this time but emphasized the importance of playing a physical game without unnecessary aggression.
