Canadiens to ice $29.4 million lineup on Tuesday night against Tampa Bay

The Montreal Canadiens will head down to Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning with a severely depleted lineup due to injuries and COVID-19 protocol.

Tomorrow's lineup against Tampa Bay will make a combined total of $29.403 million which is $30.797 million below the salary cap floor and $52.097 million below the salary cap ceiling.

Here were today's lines at practice in Brossard, Quebec.

Drouin ($5.5 mil) - Suzuki ($863K) - Gallagher ($6.5 mil)
Harvey-Pinard ($825K) - Poehling ($750K) - Caufield ($880K)
Belzile ($750K) - Evans ($750K) - Ylonen ($880K)
Pezzetta ($750K) - Paquette ($950K) - Vejdemo ($750K)

Romanov ($894K) - Savard ($3.5 mil)
Kulak ($1.85 mil) - Clague ($761K)
Schueneman ($750K) - Niku ($750K)

Primeau ($880K)
Montembeault ($750K)

Veteran forward Paul Byron ($3.4 mil) was also at practice on Monday morning, but it's unlikely that he will make his season debut on Tuesday. Byron hasn't played at all this season after having off-season hip surgery.

Puck drop for tomorrow's tilt at Amalie Arena is set for 7pm ET on TSN2 and RDS.
