The Montreal Canadiens face off against the newly relocated Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre. Game starts just after 7 p.m. (TSN2, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM).

The former Arizona Coyotes left the desert for Salt Lake City, Utah in the offseason. The name is only temporary; they’re expected to get a full rebranding in time for next season.

It’s the first of a back-to-back for the Habs. They meet the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road tomorrow.
