Three Canadiens Return to Tonight's Lineup After Missing Morning Practice
The Montreal Canadiens will have an almost full lineup tonight against the Buffalo Sabres, as TVA Sports' Anthony Martineau confirmed Bolduc, Anderson, and Gallagher will play.
The three, who missed the morning practice, will suit up for Country Night at the Bell Centre, reassuring fans after early concerns about their absence.
According to Anthony Martineau, the three players simply had the morning off to rest a bit before the game.
And honestly, I think it makes sense after such a busy start to the season and on the eve of a long road trip.

Still according to Martineau, Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach were also absent this morning - both missed last Saturday night's game.
"Veleno and Beck are on the ice.
Laine and Dach are not.
Anderson, Gallagher, and Bolduc aren't either."

In goal, it's Jakub Dobes who will get the start for the Canadiens tonight against the Sabres. The young 24-year-old Czech goaltender will have another opportunity to showcase his calmness and consistency after impressing in his recent outings.
Martin St-Louis confirmed his decision earlier in the day, wanting to give Montembeault a bit of rest after several emotionally intense performances.
I have to say, I really enjoy watching Dobes perform. He's clearly very exciting to watch in net.
In my opinion, I think it's an excellent decision, as he has earned the trust of his teammates and deserves this chance to stand out once again in front of the Bell Centre crowd.
The Bell Centre therefore promises a great atmosphere for this Country Night, where the Canadiens will look to finish their homestand on a positive note.
