After a long summer, hockey finally returned to Montreal in the form of the annual pre-season tournament with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators. Friday evening saw the Canadiens prospects squaring off with their Ottawa counterparts. While a few bigger names were held out of this game, including Cale Fleury and Michael McNiven, all eyes were on 2018 third overall pick Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who was making his debut in a Montreal sweater.
Starting in net for Montreal’s prospects was tryout Samuel Harvey, while another tryout in Stephen Dhillon was set to play the second half of the game.
