This morning, the Canadiens practiced in Buffalo in preparation for tonight's game against the Sabres.

Naturally, there were a few questions about the lineup. And on that subject, Marc Denis offered a few answers about what we should see tonight.

First, we note that Jacob Fowler (no big surprise) is expected to play tonight.

After seeing the other two goaltenders play at the start of the week, it was time for the American (who hasn't played since Saturday) to take his place in front of the net.

Obviously, facing the Sabres will be a big challenge, having won 14 of their last 16 games. But the rookie never seems to be afraid of a challenge.

We also note that, according to the RDS game analyst, Ivan Demidov and Lane Hutson were back on the first powerplay wave for practice.

Not surprising, considering that the changes involving the two youngsters were only scheduled to take place against the Canucks and Capitals.

But it's noteworthy nonetheless.

In fact, the guys arrived on the ice before anyone else. They didn't even give the Zamboni time to finish preparing the ice before starting to skate.
