Practice: Alexandre Texier on the first line | Kirby Dach on the fourth line

Tonight, the Canadiens take on the Bruins in Boston. It'll be another big game for the club, who face a direct rival in the Atlantic.

They'll need to find a way to win a game by four points, something they haven't been doing lately.

We wondered what the Habs lineup would look like for the occasion, and now we've got some answers on the heels of practice: Alexandre Texier practiced on the first line, which suggests he could be back tonight.

Kirby Dach, who has been in that position since his return, was on the fourth line with Zachary Bolduc and Jake Evans.

Joe Veleno was the odd man out.
