Montreal Canadiens: Opening Day Notes

Injured: Michael Bournival.

Comments: There are a few last-minute changes, some driven by pre-season performances and one by an off-ice issue. The players who are additions over last season include Mike Condon, Tomas Fleischmann, Alexander Semin, Jarred Tinordi, and Paul Byron.

This was last year’s opening day roster:

That’s a significant change year-to-year. There are 8 players that were on the roster a year ago and are now playing elsewhere or retired. The notable difference in lineups is the level of experience and skill.
