The Montreal Canadiens have revealed their opening night roster for the 2022-23 season.
All teams had to release their roster prior to 5:00 PM Eastern.
After placing defencemen Corey Schueneman and Madison Bowey on waivers on Sunday, the Canadiens got to the 23-player limit by placing Joel Armia (out one to two weeks) and Joel Edmundson (out indefinitely) on Injured Reserve, and sending goaltender Cayden Primeau, defencemen Justin Barron and Otto Leskinen, and forwards Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Jesse Ylönen to the Laval Rocket.
The first overall pick from 2022, Juraj Slafkovský, has made the cut, along with rookie defencemen Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, and Arber Xhekaj.
