Lines at Practice, Sept 22

Here's a peek at Jacques Martin's lines from this morning, an indication of who should be expected to dress tomorrow night in Ottawa:

FORWARDS

Max Pacioretty - Scott Gomez - Brendan Gallagher

Andrei Kostitsyn - Andreas Engqvist - Erik Cole

Mathieu Darche - Gabriel Dumont - Alexander Avtsin

Michael Blunden - Philip DeSimone - Brock Trotter

Lars Eller

DEFENSEMEN

Zack Fitzgerald - Alexei Yemelin

Hal Gill - Raphael Diaz

Morgan Ellis - Jarred Tinordi

P.K. Subban - Alex Henry

GOALTENDERS

Carey Price

Nathan Lawson

It looks like Gomez may be back folks! If Engqvist does play, it will be his third straight contest, a good indication that he may start the year in Montreal.

It's a little disappointing to see Peter Delmas again held out of the roster as I do believe he's an intriguing prospect, but it's not the biggest deal. It's possible Price would play a full game at this point anyway.

David Desharnais and Hunter Bishop did not practice after suffering minor injuries in last night's game against the Buffalo Sabres.

Brendan Nash, meanwhile, was operated on for an undisclosed upper body injury yesterday, and will be out for an indefinite period of time.
