Tonight, the Canadiens play their first warm-up game away from the Bell Centre. After three games at home, the club will play in Toronto tonight,after which it will head to Quebec City for Tuesday's match against the Senators.So we've been keeping an eye on what the club's line-up will look like for tonight's game, following which we're expecting to see a big wave of cuts.

Kaiden Guhle (who didn't play on Thursday due to injury) and Noah Dobson (who was injured on Thursday) aren't on the roster, so we'll have to keep an eye on whether they'll be able to play on Tuesday.

We know both guys are dealing with injuries right now, so it makes sense not to want to push them too hard. That said, considering Guhle missed Thursday's game (unlike Dobson), we wondered if he'd be back in action tonight.But that'll have to wait.After Joshua Roy on Tuesday, it's Oliver Kapanen's turn to audition with Zachary Bolduc and Alex Newhook. It'll be a great opportunity for him to prove his worth and show that he deserves to play on the third line to start the year.Because right now, that's pretty much the only struggle… especially as things seem to be settled in front of the net.Seeing Kaapo Kahkonen in front of the net isn't a huge surprise… but normally, it's Jakub Dobes who should have been there, like on Tuesday. That said, Jacob Fowler will be in uniform for a third pre-season game… and Dobes won't be making the trip,so it looks like the Czech may have won the #2 spot.We'll be keeping an eye on what happens tonight, but apart from Lane Hutson (who'll be playing with Jayden Struble), the Habs didn't exactly send their big guns to Toronto. Spacer title='Overtime'] –Here's the Maple Leafs line-up, which is more formidable than Thursday's.

– Very cool

– Indeed.
