Alex Newhook would like to complete a line-up with Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach
Auteur: Christopher BrownThe Canadiens’ regular season kicks off in exactly 30 days, and it’s time to see a new face in action: Patrik Laine. We still can’t confirm which line he’ll be playing on, but we have our suspicions it’ll be the second line.
In an interview with Guillaume Lepage of NHL.com, Alex Newhook confirmed that he’s very excited to be back on the ice and that he’d love to complete a line with Kirby Dach and “little” newcomer Patrik Laine.
However, Newhook wouldn’t confirm anything with Lepage. He’s not in a position to give a precise opinion on the composition of the trios for next season.
But Newhook is far from the only Canadiens player excited at the prospect of playing on the same team as Laine. His captain, Nick Suzuki, told NHL.com’s Mike Zeisberger that the Canadiens are delighted to have added a player of his calibre to the team.

It’s good to see the Habs players so excited about playing with Laine, which proves that Kent Hughes was right when he said he wanted to reward his players.
Overtime
– More trouble in Philadelphia.
With training camp opening in nine days, @ADiMarco25 is on it – #Flyers aren’t expecting Kolosov to report.
The best option for team may well be to toll the contract, which would allow them to retain his rights at the same pay/details as currently under contract. https://t.co/jAlaYEg6No
