With Game 1 of the Leafs vs Habs series three more days away, the Montreal Canadiens have taken the opportunity to give their two injured players a conditioning stint with the Laval Rocket tonight. Their opponent: the Toronto Marlies.
Brendan Gallagher, who broke his finger, and Carey Price, who was resting before the playoffs, will both start against the Leafs farm team.
This is the unofficial start of the playoff series, so the Marlies better win. No pressure!
The Canadiens have assigned Brendan Gallagher and Carey Price to the Rocket on LTI conditioning loans.
