Some conflicting info, but this is the group on skating now. There are two separate skates taking place afterwards, so this guy's interpretation is this group will go to Montreal since they're on first. Guess we'll find out!

No issues here if it means we get Nemec tomorrow live at home.

I think that first group is the non-Montreal group.
Devils website posted a different list: Devils Open Preseason in Montreal | GAME PREVIEW
I’m sure we’ll find out in 15 min or so but a quick guess:
Johnsson - Hischier - Bratt
Tatar - Boqvist - Zetterlund
Foote - Talvitie - Thompson
Halonen - Laberge - Clarke
Graves - Severson
Bahl - Walsh
Okhotiuk - Vilen

Classic Devil
Spirit of 1988
That second line should be interesting to watch. I hope it performs well, it could easily be our every-day fourth line.

The players to watch for me in this one are Okhotyuk for the Devils and Beck for Montreal.
Okhotyuk to me is a good camp away from stealing the 3LD slot for opening night. His mix of speed and physicality is something which would really inject some intensity into the Devils blueline. He'll make a mistake here and there like any young blueliner, but his potential overall impact is something being overlooked by many Devils fans.
In Montreal, the media is acting like Owen Beck is some sort of revelation, but the fact is I was touting the kid all throughout the draft year and said multiple times he'd be a strong pick in the top 15. He's the perfect example of why you can't over-rely on stats with draft prospects and need to watch the players. He could pull a Patrice Bergeron and go straight from a 2nd-round pick to a top-6 NHL role.

Interesting the two guys that, at least to me, are competing for that last defensemen spot are on the same pair
The Johnsson - Boqvist - Zetterlund line will be interesting to watch tonight as all 3 are fighting for a spot in the lineup, if not on the roster itself to some degree.
Also interesting to see Bahl on the right side on the 2nd pair, ahead of Walsh.

I’m hoping for a good game from Okhotiuk and Bahl. I’d prefer to have Okhotiuk make it but it woild be good to see both look like they are NHL ready.
Its nice to see Walsh play well but I just dont see a spot for him as we habe better options or better versions of what type of game he plays.
Its crazy to think we still have Hughes Nemec and Mukhamadoulin coming soon….
It will be like adding three potemtial #1/2/3 dmen to the roster …. It will be massive
