We've finally arrived at the Montreal Canadiens' first preseason game, live from the Bell Centre, against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

We already have a few confirmations.
We also have the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup for tonight, and indeed, there's a name well known to Montreal Canadiens fans.. a return!

Rafaël Harvey-Pinard sent into the mix against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre

It will be a great opportunity for RHP to show his skills to the Penguins' management, to his new bosses, and it will be a special chance to do so in familiar territory, facing familiar faces.
It would really be a great story if he has a strong game tonight.
Yes, it will be special to see RHP in a new uniform..
So here's the lineup for the visitors:
Robby Fabbri, Boko Imama, Joona Koppanen, Tommy Novak, Sam Poulin, Tristan Broz, Anthony Mantha, Danton Heinen, Valtteri Puustinen, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, Ben Kindel, Avery Hayes, and Atley Calvert will be the forwards for the Penguins.
Ryan Shea, Matt Dumba, Ryan Greaves, Owen Pickering, Harrison Brunicke, Finn Harding, and Connor Clifton will be the defensemen.
And finally, Joel Blomqvist and Sergei Murashov will be the goaltenders.
Also, as we reported earlier today, Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, and Evgeni Malkin will all be out for tonight's contest.
Enjoy the game!
We're very excited to see RHP on the visitors' side, but also, of course, Ivan Demidov and Noah Dobson in the bleu-blanc-rouge uniform.
