Brendan Gallagher and Joe Veleno Change Lines
During this morning’s practice, the stakes were low. The team has 18 healthy skaters, so no major surprises were expected on the ice. Unless a recall happens, this is the current state of the club. While the goaltending situation is being monitored, there isn’t much chaos at the moment.
"Kapanen forwards Cole and Slaf comes in to protect him. Caufield (playing goalie) then gets pecked by Demidov. The guys are having fun" – DansLesCoulisses (@DLCoulisses), November 3, 2025
Even without new players to add, the Canadiens’ coach can still mix things up. The main change from Saturday’s game against the Senators at the Bell Centre involves a switch between Brendan Gallagher and Joe Veleno on the offensive lines.
Current Offensive Lines
- Caufield – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
- Newhook – Kapanen – Demidov
- Bolduc – Dach – Gallagher
- Anderson – Evans – Veleno
This adjustment reflects the team’s approach to maintaining flexibility and chemistry on the ice.
Author’s summary: The Canadiens made a tactical line change by swapping Gallagher and Veleno, aiming to boost offense despite a stable roster and minimal external disruptions.
