In the last few moments, the Montreal Canadiens have officially revealed Martin St-Louis's starting lines for the 2023 season.

Finally.
Here are the combinations:
Caufield-Suzuki-Anderson

Newhook-Dach-Slaf

Pearson-Monahan-Gallagher

Harevey-Pinard-Evans-Ylonen

Matheson-Savard

Guhle-Kovacevic

Harris-Xhekaj

Barron as the rotating (7th)

This means that, to everyone's surprise, it's Josh Anderson who will start on the 1st line, alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. (even though it never really worked out)
It won't be Sean Monahan, Kirby Dach, or Alex Newhook.
