Juraj Slafkovsky of the Montreal Canadiens is making his return after missing three games due to an upper-body injury. He participated in the morning skate on the second line alongside Alex Newhook and Joel Armia.

Slafkovsky, the first overall pick in 2022, has recorded one goal and five assists in six games this season. The Canadiens, currently on a two-game win streak, will face the Seattle Kraken, who are struggling with three consecutive losses.
