On to the next stage of the camp: Kirby Dach in action tonight

There will be quite a few regulars in action tonight at the Bell Centre, and when I say regulars, I mean the Canadiens. The Maple Leafs, on the other hand, have opted to bring some of their non-stars to town.Michael Pezzetta will be there, though. Here's

a look at the Leafs lineup that will face the #CHs tonight at the Bell Centre.

The good news is that Cédric Paré won't be in uniform!#Habs #Canadiens https://t.co/RetVrdJfje –Marc-Olivier Beaudoin (@MOBeaudoin1) September 25, 2025

Note that the first line (Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky) is on the ice this morning with the group that will play tonight. Ivan Demidov, Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach are also there. So Dach is taking the next step by playing a game? Obviously, yes.

Juraj Slafkovsky has replaced his visor with a cage.

Joshua Roy, Filip Mesar, Vinzenz Rohrer, Luke Tuch, Jared Davidson and Florian Xhekaj, meanwhile, will get minutes on the club's bottom-6 .Good news for the Unicorn:Mike Matheson will be with Noah Dobson and David Reinbacher will get an audition alongside Kaiden Guhle. Ryan O'Rourke and Nathan Clurman will be the other guys in uniform, with Samuel Montembeault and Jacob Fowler.

From what I see for tonight against the Leafs with the guys on the ice:

CC – Suz – Slaf Laine – Dach – Demidov Roy – Mesar – Rohrer Tuch – Xhekaj – Davidson Matheson – Dobson Guhle – Reinbacher O'Rourke – Clurman Monty – Fowler Interesting! @DLCoulisses pic.twitter.com/FSldLL7iDO– Marc-Olivier Cook (@Cook_Marco) September 25, 2025

'prolongation'

Based on what we're seeing, it looks like it'll be the other way around in Toronto on Saturday, with depth guys playing for the Canadiens and regulars for the Maple Leafs. Could Lane Hutson be THE big player in uniform on Saturday? Will any of the regulars be playing with him? We'll see.
