CHICAGO – The Canadiens held their first morning skate of the season on Saturday at United Center.

What happened, you ask? Not a whole lot –– but that was the point.

With the game scheduled for 6:00 p.m. local time, Martin St-Louis kept things short and simple, giving his players just enough time to get their feet wet following Friday’s day off.

Here are the lines and pairings featured at practice:

13 Caufield

14 Suzuki

20 Slafkovsky

76 Bolduc

77 Dach
