Martin St-Louis is leaving nothing to chance and has demanded his players be on the Bell Centre ice this morning at 10:30 a.m.
It is therefore underway.
The head coach wants to fine-tune the final tactical details ahead of the Colorado Avalanche’s visit.
It’s a logical decision to keep everyone sharp after the big win against Vegas.
The media will then be on alert at 11:00 a.m. for the pregame press conferences with the coach and a few players.
Martin St-Louis changes his mind and ultimately decides to call another mandatory practice before tonight’s game
We also expect St-Louis to confirm his lines in the next few minutes, even though the lineup should remain identical to Tuesday’s.
"The Canadiens will hold a morning practice at 10:30 a.m. Thursday. Also, don’t miss the pregame press conferences with Martin St-Louis and certain players around 11:00 a.m."

The atmosphere is expected to be emotional at the Bell Centre tonight for a historic reason.
The visitors will hit the ice wearing the colors of the Quebec Nordiques.
Nathan MacKinnon and company are likely to be greeted with a mix of admiration and nostalgia.
Jakub Dobes will start in net against the Nordiques
Jakub Dobes gets the start for a second straight game, a bold but well-earned decision.
The young Czech will have the heavy task of slowing down one of the NHL’s most devastating offenses. Samuel Montembeault will once again play the role of spectator at the end of the bench.
St-Louis wants to see if his club can repeat the defensive effort delivered against the Golden Knights.
Discipline will be the watchword against a power play as dangerous as Colorado’s.
Keep an eye on the 11:00 a.m. comments, as the coach could send a few messages before the game.
The Quebec–Montreal rivalry comes back to life for one night, even if in an artificial way.
