The first images of Alexandre Carrier in the colors of the Canadiens.

Its tonight, in Detroit, that Alexandre Carrier is going to make his debut in the Canadiens uniform.

This will undoubtedly be an important moment for him and for his entire family as well.

After all, as a Quebecois, he grew up dreaming of this moment.

This morning, the Canadiens released the first images of the defender in his new colors.

We see him talking to Stephane Robidas, wearing a red hoodie from Flanelle.

Even though the CH wasnt officially training this morning, a few guys still took the opportunity to jump on the ice to stretch their legs.

And among them? Alexandre Carrier, who hasnt played for about two weeks due to an injury.

Anthony Martineau posted a video about it on social media.

We see Alexandre Carrier approaching the rink and even taking the time to interact with Canadiens fans (with Michael Pezzetta) who were present.

This is probably an indication that the two are going to sit out tonight.

#AsExpected I think everyone is looking forward to seeing what Carrier has in him.

How much will he stabilize the defensive unit? Will he play a lot shorthanded? Will he be paired with Kaiden Guhle? The answers will come soon, I imagine.

In brief I thought Kent Hughes was THE villain in the story...
