Montreal is off to a hot start. The Canadiens are 6-2-0 overall and 5-1-0 at home.

Brad Marchand practiced Tuesday after missing practice on Monday. Marchand was injured in the second period of Saturday’s 1-0 win over Toronto. For now, we’ll assume Marchand will play tonight.

Daniel Paille (eye/head) and Shawn Thornton (concussion) will not play. Neither traveled to Montreal.

Puck drop: 7:30 p.m.
