Don't know lineups, but simply wanted to start the thread.

(Galchenyuk out with Flu)

Might be a good game, Habs are favoured and actually are the higher scoring team.

Columbus is 5-5 in last ten, so winning a few lately; but another game the Habs 'should' win easily.

This will be game #10 for de la Rose, meaning that the first year of his ELC will now kick in.

So I guess he is staying up the rest of the year then. Wouldn't make sense to burn the first year if that wasn't the case. Does that make Eller expendable? Its pointing to more and more likely that he will be part of the package we send out to get our top six RW or top 4 D-man

There's still one more prominent threshold to hit, the 40 game mark. Once he hits that, he accrues one full season towards free agency. In other words, he'd be a UFA at 26 instead of 27 potentially. In the past, some NHL teams have gone past the 10 game mark but demoted the player before hitting 40. It seems likely he's staying up but it's not a guarantee simply because the first ELC year is burned.

great to see maxpac score two, but it would be REALLY nice if we could get someone else scoring with some regularity.

White was great in Hamilton. hitting , fighting, team player, and fast as hell.

In Montreal, Therrien treated him the way Torts treated Weiss in Vancouver.
