We're all waiting for updates from the Montreal Canadiens regarding the lineup ahead of the game against the Seattle Kraken.

Let's remember that puck drop is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. tonight, live from Seattle, and the Habs were expected to hit the ice within the next few hours for their morning skate.
That said, there's been a slight change of plans.

Martin St-Louis changes his decision and adds an optional practice to today's schedule

As the excellent Priyanta Emrith notes, we'll apparently have to wait a bit longer for answers, as today's mandatory practice has been canceled.
It will instead be an optional session...
"Habs will have an optional morning skate at 11:30am PT ahead of tonight's game vs. the SeaKraken to close out their western road trip."

- Priyanta Emrith
Among the situations we're closely monitoring...
Will it be Samuel Montembeault or Jakub Dobes in goal?
Will Martin St-Louis send a message to Arber Xhekaj and leave him out of the lineup?
"The Canadiens are scheduled for a morning skate at 2:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

For the full official lineup, check back on the team's social accounts on Instagram, Facebook and X closer to puck drop.

Friendly reminder that this final game of the road trip is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET... get your coffee ready!"

- Montreal Canadiens
If I had to make predictions based on what I've read and heard, I'd say Jakub Dobes will get the start in goal, while young Arber Xhekaj will be in uniform but see limited ice time... stay tuned!
