Them
It's a home game for them, so we are getting a full-ish lineup tonight.
The Canadiens have also played two preseason games, one vs the Penguins and one vs the Flyers. They won them both.

Canadiens projected lines/lineup vs Leafs tonight (bottom six might be lined up a bit different but it's a best guess)

Us
The Leafs are sending a bottom-six lineup with a couple of interesting wrinkles. Matias Maccelli and Bobby McMann, the two top-six wingers currently, are ported in to give David Kämpf the best line he's been on all camp.
Easton Cowan is with the line he's been best with, and Ben Danford gets the game off. That's a good thing, since the best play for Danford is to suit up in a more serious lineup surrounded by the defenders he needs to learn from.
Meanwhile feel for Bo Groulx and William Villeneuve who are going to be doing a lot of media.
