Lines and defense pairings at morning skate – Oct. 17

MONTREAL – Following a two-day break in the schedule, the Habs hit the ice for morning skate in preparation for Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings at the Bell Centre.

It was a full team skate for the Canadiens, with Kirby Dach returning to the ice with his teammates after sitting out practice on Wednesday.

Here’s the projected lineup against the Kings:

Prior to the main skate, forward Rafael Harvey-Pinard went on the ice solo for a skate, his first since the team announced in July that he had had surgery after suffering a broken leg. Harvey-Pinard skated under the supervision of director of sports medicine Jim Ramsay.
