Game Notes |
| MTL -Jakub Dobes will likely start for the Canadiens -Montreal had a relatively quiet offseason, with their only addition to the roster coming just 2.5 weeks before the season opener when they signed Chris Kreider after his termination from the Ducks -Oliver Kapanen was expected to start the season as the teams 2nd line centre between Slafkovsky and Demidov but an injury during camp will prevent him from being healthy for game 1 of the season |
| TOR -Sergei Bobrovsky will likely start for the Leafs -Toronto on the other hand will see 9 players making their Leafs debut in this game after a very busy offseason. The most notable of those will of course be: 2026 1st overall pick Gavin McKenna, starting goalie Sergei Bobrosvky, and Darren Raddysh on the blue line -Oh also they traded Knies for Kirill Marchenko.
