Updates from practice - Feb. 28

BROSSARD – The Canadiens practiced at the CN Sports Complex on Wednesday ahead of their departure for a four-game road trip, starting in Florida.

Head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed Samuel Montembeault as the starting goalie on Thursday against the Panthers.

Here are the forward lines featured today:

Defensemen Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, Johnathan Kovacevic, Mike Matheson, David Savard and Arber Xhekaj rotated pairings on the back end.

Jake Evans, who recorded a multi-point game last night, and Jayden Struble did not participate in today's practice (therapy day). Both players will travel with the team to Florida.

Rafaël Harvey-Pinard was seen on the ice in Brossard on Wednesday as he continues rehabbing a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old hasn’t played since Feb. 10 against the Dallas Stars.
