Oliver Kapanen will make his regular season debut for the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden. Puck drop just after 7 p.m. (TSN, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM.)
After Sam Montembeault pitched a 48-save shutout in last night’s opener against the Leafs, it will be Cayden Primeau’s turn between the pipes. Primeau had two shutouts a season ago, to go along with an 8-9-4 record.
Kapanen will replace Emil Heineman in the lineup.
In other roster news, defenceman Gustav Lindström cleared waivers and is on loan to the AHL’s Laval Rocket.
