Habs reveal roster ahead of Alzner's first match against former team

Head coach Claude Julien decided to forego any changes to the Canadiens' lineup ahead of their matchup against the Washington Capitals tonight.

The Canadiens are fresh off a shootout victory against the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night, with stellar performances from Jonathan Drouin, Carey Price, and Shea Weber.

Meanwhile, the Caps are coming off a comeback victory against the Ottawa Senators, in which Alex Ovechkin scored a third period hat trick.

Washington has been a tough team for Montreal as of late, it'll be interesting to see how their revamped roster handles the powerhouse.

Here's the Canadiens' lineup for tonight:

Max Pacioretty - Jonathan Drouin - Brendan Gallagher
Charles Hudon - Tomas Plekanec - Artturi Lehkonen
Alex Galchenyuk - Phillip Danault - Andrew Shaw
Paul Byron - Jacob de la Rose - Ales Hemsky

Victor Mete - Shea Weber
Karl Alzner - Jeff Petry
Jordie Benn - Mark Streit

Carey Price will be the starting goaltender for Montreal. Karl Alzner will be facing off against his former team for the first time since leaving as an unrestricted free agent this summer.
