A definitive taste of what the forward lines will look like, Slafkovský's search for respect and other observations from Canadiens camp.

It took some time for the first line to get going, but Caufield did find Slafkovsky with a cross-ice pass right in front of the net, which the Slovak converted to seal the deal and give Team 1 a 4-2 win. The hulking forward looks set to pick up right where he left off, cleaning his path on the nice and going into heavy traffic.

With training camp underway, Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis gave fans a glimpse of how the lines could look this season.
