At this morning's practice, there wasn’t much at stake as the team had 18 healthy skaters available. Without any significant absences or recalls expected soon, the current lineup remains stable. While the goaltending situation is under observation, there is little chaos affecting the squad at the moment.
"Kapanen forwards Cole and Slaf comes in to protect him. Caufield (playing goalie) then gets pecked by Demidov. The guys are having fun." – DansLesCoulisses (@DLCoulisses), November 3, 2025
Despite no new players added recently, the Canadiens have adjusted their offensive lines to shake things up. One key change from the previous game against the Senators at the Bell Centre is that Brendan Gallagher and Joe Veleno have swapped their positions.
This adjustment aims to create fresh dynamics despite a stable roster.
Summary: With a healthy lineup and stable roster, Canadiens adjusted offensive lines by swapping Gallagher and Veleno to refresh their attack without new additions.
