BROSSARD, QUE. --
All indications suggest that forwards Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Cole Caufield will have to earn their spot in the Montreal Canadiens lineup if they want to play in Game 1 of the first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.
After two days off, the Habs resumed practice Saturday morning at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard.
