The Montreal Canadiens held a fan practice at the Bell Centre this morning, with about 10,000 in attendance.

À vue de nez, je dirais qu'environ 10 000 personnes assistent à l'entraînement public du #CH. Pratiquement personne dans les blancs et dans les bleus.#Habs — Jonathan Bernier (@JBernierJDM) January 14, 2018

With Phillip Danault already out after spending the night in the hospital being evaluated after taking a Zdeno Chara slapshot in the head, Andrew Shaw was also not on the ice, as he was taking a therapy day.

Andrew Shaw absent de l’entraînement aujourd’hui (traitements).

Down two of the available centreman, Paul Byron was practising between Max Pacioretty and Charles Hudon. It’s possible the team will need try that out in a game situation with the plan being to keep Alex Galchenyuk on Jonathan Drouin’s wing.

#Habs practice (Shaw absent for maintenance):



Galchenyuk - Drouin - Carr

Pacioretty - Byron - Hudon

Lehkonen - Plekanec - Gallagher

Deslauriers - De La Rose - Froese



Alzner - Petry

Benn - Jerabek

Mete - Schlemko

Morrow



Price

Victor Mete stays with David Schlemko on the third pairing, suggesting that he will be back in the lineup again on Monday after a great game last night.

Whether these lines will be intact when the puck is dropped for tomorrow night’s game versus the New York Islanders remains to be seen.
