Clues Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 @ The Canadiens begin their final week of preseason hockey with a Monday night tilt against the Devils at the Bell Centre. With three preseason games remaining before the start of the regular season, the Habs’ brass still has a few decisions to make with respect to the team with which they’ll start the 2013-14 campaign. Three additional players were released from training camp on Sunday, including Michael McCarron, Sebastian Collberg and Dustin Tokarski. While the results of these matches have no bearing on the NHL standings, head coach Michel Therrien’s squad will attempt to register its first win of the preseason on home ice. In their last outing on Saturday night, the Canadiens dropped a 3-1 decision to the Hurricanes at the Bell Centre. Michael Bournival scored the lone goal for the Habs. It was the Shawiningan, QC native’s fourth goal of the preseason. Bournival will be in uniform against the Devils. After being sidelined with minor injuries, Francis Bouillon and Travis Moen will return to the lineup. Monday night’s game could provide a good indication of which players will ultimately suit up for the Canadiens on October 1st. Aside from Bournival, Therrien has elected to go with an experienced squad against New Jersey. For their part, the Devils will be playing their fourth game of the preseason, and the first of two games in as many nights as they head to Phildelphia on Tuesday. In their last outing on Saturday night against the Islanders, goaltender Cory Schneider stopped 26 shots in a 3-0 shutout victory. The Devils’ new netminder has yet to give up a goal in five periods of play since the start of the preseason. Given that Schneider played the Devils’ last game in its entirety, Martin Brodeur could be in the visiting team’s net on Monday night. The veteran netminder has played just two periods of hockey since the preseason schedule began. Following Monday’s tilt, the Canadiens will have only two preseason games remaining, both of which will be played against the Senators as part of a home-and-home series on Wednesday and Thursday.

Manatee-X Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I won't be home to see most of the game, but I'm happy that they're icing a veteran lineup with three games to go. I find that many years the Hans spend so much time evaluating prospects that some of the veterans don't end up seeing much pre-season action.

FirstStar Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Big win for Prust there against the bigger guy. He's tough as nails, reminds me a bit of Nilan. Jack of all trades, some offense, defense, enforcement and agitator. I don't envy you one bit. She's been teething since the first month. Wife said it was impossible, doc confirmed my suspicions.

He's definitely playing a much more multidimensional game since he signed here. Maybe Tortorella/the Rangers felt they had enough depth without him playing like this, or they didn't know his abilities, etc. But he's been way better here, I think.

Maybe Tortorella/the Rangers felt they had enough depth without him playing like this, or they didn't know his abilities, etc. But he's been way better here, I think. For sure, they didn't use him to the best of his ability. They put him into one roll and he proved coming here that he's much more versatile. I'm sure there are some Rag fans and some in the organization who are kicking themselves now. These type of players are rare. Quality grinder.
