CH fans are very well-informed.
They know that Dylan Larkin is likely to become a Canadiens player.
So they're going all out to bring him to the city.
Unsurprisingly, chants of “We want Larkin” can be heard at the Bell Centre.

“We want Larkin” chants were heard, and during warm-ups, applause rang out when he was the last to leave the ice.
The Canadiens are also sending subtle messages, hehe.
The Canadiens will play with 11 forwards tonight to show Dylan Larkin that he literally has a spot on the team. @DLCoulisses

The problem isn't convincing the center, but convincing his family, apparently.
Renaud Lavoie confirmed to TVA Sports that the American isn't opposed to the idea of playing in Montreal, but that he's taking his time considering his options.
Hopefully tonight's game will change his mind.
Update
Oliver Kapanen and Samuel Montembeault are officially on the injured reserve list. #MakeRoomForLarkin
Montreal has placed Oliver Kapanen and Sam Montembeault on IR. #GoHabsGo
