Eric Staal is set to make his Montreal Canadiens debut Monday night versus the Edmonton Oilers, he confirmed to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.

The recently acquired pivot served his mandatory seven-day quarantine and joined the club's top-six forward group at practice. Here's a look at Montreal's projected lines with Staal in the mix:

"Obviously, the first thing that jumped out is the talent level and the skill level," Staal said of his new teammates. "I think it's hard to gauge a lot else in a morning skate, but watching the guys for a few games, it was real competitive, quick, and aggressive, and I think all things you like to see from a good hockey team.

"So I'm excited to get involved tonight and hopefully play a good game and be another part to the group that's already here."

Montreal acquired Staal from the Buffalo Sabres on March 27 for a third- and fifth-round pick in 2021. The 36-year-old has 10 points in 32 games this season.
