There are reports of a huge surprise coming during the pre game of Team Canada’s opener against Team Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament in Montreal.

According to insider Frank Seravalli, there are a lot of hockey legends floating around Montreal this week, and he believes it is for a special ceremonial puck drop ahead of tonight’s game.

“Can you imagine the spine-tingling roar inside Bell Centre if Le Magnifique, Mario Lemieux, is introduced at center ice?”

It would indeed be insane if Pittsburgh Penguins legend Mario Lemieux, a Montreal native, is present for puck drop ahead of Canada’s first contest of the Tournament.

I guess we will find out later tonight as the game is scheduled to start at 8.

I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the fans.

For now, here is Team Canada's projected lineup for the game vs. Sweden: 

Reinhart - McDavid - Marner
Stone - Crosby - MacKinnon
Marchand - Point - Jarvis
Hagel - Konecny - Cirelli
Bennett

Toews - Makar
Morrissey - Parayko
Theodore - Doughty
Sanheim

Binnington
Hill
Montembeault
