With Florian Xhekaj still in after recording a point in his debut, the Canadiens will have six rookies in the lineup to face the Utah Mammoth.<\/p>\n<p>It did make sense for this to be the first game Engstr\u00f6m played with the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche waiting for a back-to-back to end the week. Montreal already knows what to expect from a Mammoth team they just played on November 8, and Engstr\u00f6m might be able to get away with an error or two.<\/p>\n<p>Utah has played well at home this year, winning seven of 10 games played in Salt Lake City, allowing just 2.50 goals per game in their own building and killing off 85.7% of penalties. It will take a team effort like the one Montreal got back to on Saturday night to break down the Mammoth defence and maintain the offence that has steadily risen over the last four games.<\/p>\n<p>Montreal Canadiens projected lineup<\/p>\n<p>    Left Wing<br \/>\n    Centre<br \/>\n    Right Wing<\/p>\n<p>    #13 Cole Caufield<br \/>\n    #14 Nick Suzuki<br \/>\n    #76 Zachary Bolduc<\/p>\n<p>    #20 Juraj Slafkovsk\u00fd<br \/>\n    #91 Oliver Kapanen<br \/>\n    #93 Ivan Demidov<\/p>\n<p>    #63 Florian Xhekaj<br \/>\n    #71 Jake Evans<br \/>\n    #17 Josh Anderson<\/p>\n<p>    #49 Jared Davidson<br \/>\n    #90 Joe Veleno<br \/>\n    #11 Brendan Gallagher<\/p>\n<p>    Left Defence<br \/>\n    Right Defence<\/p>\n<p>    #8 Mike Matheson<br \/>\n    #53 Noah Dobson<\/p>\n<p>    #47 Jayden Struble<br \/>\n    #48 Lane Hutson<\/p>\n<p>    ##42 Adam Engstr\u00f6m<br \/>\n    #45 Alexandre Carrier<\/p>\n<p>    Starter<br \/>\n    Backup<\/p>\n<p>    #75 Jakub Dobe\u0161<br \/>\n    #35 Samuel Montembeault<\/p>\n<p>Scratched: Arber Xhekaj<br \/>Injured: Kirby Dach, Kaiden Guhle, Patrik Laine, Alex Newhook<\/p>\n<p>Utah Mammoth projected lineup<\/p>\n<p>    Left Wing<br \/>\n    Centre<br \/>\n    Right Wing<\/p>\n<p>    Clayton Keller<br \/>\n    Barrett Hayton<br \/>\n    Nick Schmaltz<\/p>\n<p>    Kailer Yamamoto<br \/>\n    Logan Cooley<br \/>\n    Dylan Guenther<\/p>\n<p>    J.J.
