4 point game in draft positioning. Gurianov makes his debut on Suzuki's wing, and we could see the return of Edmondson to the lineup. Late one for all the night owls on the eastern side of the continent.

And my punishment continues

'Nuff said

Two hours until game time ... if no one else will do it ....... Devils Gameday Preview: Montreal Canadiens Devils Projected Lineup Tomas Tatar – Nico Hischier – Dawson Mercer Yegor Sharangovich – Jack Hughes – Jesper Bratt Ondrej Palat – Erik Haula – Fabian Zetterlund Miles Wood – Michael McLeod – Jesper Boqvist Brendan Smith – Dougie Hamilton Ryan Graves – Damon Severson Jonas Siegenthaler – Kevin Bahl Vitek Vanecek It’s worth noting that defenseman John Marino is ill, and per Matt Loughlin, he will not play tonight. Canadiens Projected Lineup (The Canadiens held a practice at Bell Sports Complex on Feb. 20 before flying to New Jersey. Below is the workflow that was utilized.) Rafael Harvey-Pinard – Nick Suzuki – Josh Anderson Mike Hoffman – Jonathan Drouin – Joel Armia Rem Pitlick – Christian Dvorak – Evgenii Dadonov Michael Pezzetta – Alex Belzile – Jesse Ylonen Corey Schueneman – David Savard Mike Matheson – Justin Barron Jordan Harris – Johnathan Kovacevic Sam Montembeault

I think we are in the place that Hughes was talking about when he said that sometimes there are too many wins… However, in the spirit of Valentines day, I hope Dach scores at least a hat trick against those idiots in Chicago for throwing away such a great young forward. Projected lines: RHP - Suzuki - Anderson Dadonov - Dach - Hoffman Armia - Dvorak - Drouin Pezzetta - Belzile - Pitlick Matheson - Barron Harris - Kovacevic Wideman - Savard Montembault Bring on the trade deadline please 🙏

Lines to follow if I find them

Seriously folks! When does a losing streak begin? Do I need to cheer for a Kotkaniemi hat trick? (LOL). We have a team full of AHL call ups that are working their butts off so that they stay with the team and we keep winning…Not to mention the better play of Drouin, Dadonov, Hoffman. Carolina should destroy us but this Habs team has been getting it done. Projected lines: RHP - Suzuki - Anderson Dadonov - Dach - Hoffman Armia - Dvorak - Drouin Pezetta - Belzile- Ylonen/Pitlick Harris - Savard Matheson - Barron Kovacevic - Wideman

Another Super Bowl, another afternoon Habs game. Allen starting and likely the same lineup.

No national coverage for our typical Super Bowl afternoon game weekend. Not sure if lines as I’ve seen nothing posted but will update if/when they become available.

Lines as per dailyfaceoff apparently Allen starting Go Habs Go!

Beck makes his surprise debut, Habs lineup back to 12 forwards and 6 defensemen. Wideman out, Kovacevic back in while Edmundson nurses his injury. Hoping for a fun game and 0 points in the standings.

I haven’t seen lines anywhere yet but will post when they come out.

To be updated

Today's news seems to have impacted everyone's motivation to start a thread This is the most I could find about the lineup

Go Habs!

On paper, the Jets are the better team, see how she plays out. Caufield bobble-head night, maybe a hat-trick is in order.

How sleepy will the teams be in early game? Kinda think Habs have easy choice of whether Dach plays centre or wing with Evans out.

The freight train known as Romanov is surely pumped. Who gets destroyed by him? Cause you know that ROWmanov has a chip on his shoulder. Projected lineup: Caufield - Suzuki - Dach Slafkovsky - Dvorak - Anderson Dadonov - Evans - Armia Drouin - Ylonen Edmundson - Savard Harris - Kovacevic Xhekaj - Barron Wideman Montembault

Interesting lineup with 7 D. I wonder why?

Habs fans everywhere breathe a GIGANTIC sigh of relief as all-time great Mike Hoffman returns to the lineup. The Non-Rocket Richard and Barron contemplate existence from the sidelines. Projected lineup - Habs Cole Caufield - Nick Suzuki - Kirby Dach Evgenii Dadonov - Jake Evans - Joel Armia Juraj Slafkovsky - Christian Dvorak - Josh Anderson Michael Pezzetta - Jonathan Drouin - Mike Hoffman Joel Edmundson - David Savard Jordan Harris - Johnathan Kovacevic Arber Xhekaj - Chris Wideman Sam Montembault Jake Allen Projected lineup - Bads Andre Burakovsky Matty Beniers Jordan Eberle Jaden Schwartz Alex Wennberg Jared McCann Eeli Tolvanen Yanni Gourde Oliver Bjorkstrand Brandon Tanev Ryan Donato Daniel Sprong Vince Dunn Adam Larsson Jamie Oleksiak Justin Schultz Carson Soucy Will Borgen Martin Jones Philip Gurbauer

Habs will attempt to stop the bleeding with a veteran-laden defence corps - only three rookies dressed! Hoo boy, do we ever need Matheson or Guhle back there. And Gump Worsley wouldn’t hurt either. Lineup courtesy NHL.com Saturday, January 7 Projected lineup LW C RW 22 - Cole Caufield 14 - Nick Suzuki 77 - Kirby Dach 20 - Juraj Slafkovsky 28 - Christian Dvorak 17 - Josh Anderson 63 - Evgenii Dadonov 71 - Jake Evans 40 - Joel Armia 55 - Michael Pezzetta 27 - Jonathan Drouin 90 - Anthony Richard LD RD G 44 - Joel Edmundson 58 - David Savard 34 - Jake Allen 54 - Jordan Harris 26 - Johnathan Kovacevic 35 - Sam Montembeault 72 - Arber Xhekaj 6 - Chris Wideman Forward Mike Hoffman and defenseman Justin Barron are healthy scratches. Blues lineup Forwards Buchnevich - Thomas - Kyrou Saad - Schenn - Barbashev Neighbours - Acciari - Leivo Toropchenko - Alexandrov - Pitlick Defense Mikkola - Parayko Rosen - Faulk Santini - Bortuzzo Goalie Binnington

The Habs look to continue their pointless streak but in a more dignified manner. Keep it within a goal or two boys. Savard and Richard return to the lineup, replacing Kovacevic and deadweight Armia. Elsewhere in the league, Arizona plays Florida in a big match for our draft positioning.

Reminder that this game starts at 4pm. Projected lines: Dadonov - Drouin - Armia Caufield - Suzuki - Dach Slafkovsky - Dvorak - Gallagher Hoffman - Evans - Anderson Edmundson - Wideman Xhekaj - Kovacevic Harris - Barron Allen

There is nothing on Twitter about a morning skate/line-up ... but per Habs website "it is likely that Sam Montembeault will get the nod between the pipes".
