Over the past few minutes live from Brossard, we had our first intra-squad game at the Montreal Canadiens' 2025 training camp.

Many of you have been asking the question, and we finally have the answer.
No, Florian Xhekaj is not among the 12 "projected" forwards for the Montreal Canadiens to start training camp.
However, this could obviously change over the next few weeks.
It will be up to him to force management to place him on a regular line to start the season.

The first Montreal Canadiens lines are revealed!

Here's how it looks:

We now have an answer for the forwards, as well as for the defensemen:
Exciting stuff! Also, please note that what could explain Owen Beck's presence on the "third line" is the fact that Kapanen left practice early with an injury scare, as we reported earlier.
These are the starting lines, but I'm especially looking forward to seeing what the lines will look like at the very end of training camp, in about two weeks.
We even have some pictures, courtesy of the excellent journalist Stu Cowan.
More details to come.
