Should he take the ice against New Jersey, Florian Xhekaj would make his official preseason debut with the Canadiens. The 20-year-old did not see any game action in last year’s training camp.
Logan Mailloux is the lone skater from the projected lineup who was also in uniform for Monday night’s 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. The defenseman recorded an assist and a plus-2 rating in the team’s preseason opener.
