The Canadiens will play a scrimmage in front of a sold-out Bell Centre crowd tonight as they prepare for the pre-season which gets underway Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Bobby Hebert Saints Jersey . Fans were able to get the tickets free of charge either by going to a Canadian Tire or by visiting the Canadiens website. Those fans that donated used skates were given prestige seating, meaning they will be watching the game from the first few rows of the Bell Centre. This dress rehearsal will be a good opportunity for some rookies like Nikita Scherbak to get the jitters out of the way. "Alex Galchenyuk told me youll be shaking when you get on the ice for your first shift" the Habs first round pick of this year told the media. He will play tonight on a line with Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher. Its an opportunity that Scherbak is looking forward to. "Its exciting, were a bunch of young guys playing together and Galchenyuk has been helping me out throughout camp so I really like this line," Scherbak added. This will also be the first time Jacob De La Rose gets to see ice time at the Bell Centre. The 19-year-old Swedish forward is one of the players in the running for the opened right wing position. Even though he usually plays on the left, De La Rose has no problem playing on his off wing and feels he is getting better every day. "Its a little odd when you have the stick on the wrong side when you are in the defensive zone but that is something I am getting use to" De La Rose said. He began camp playing on a line with Rene Bourque and Lars Eller but the Canadiens announced on Monday that Eller is day-to-day with a lower body injury. Habs prospect Charles Hudon will replace Eller at centre for tonights scrimmage.

Bobby Hebert Jersey . -- Terrelle Pryor took the opening snap of the game, put the ball in Darren McFaddens belly and saw LaMarr Woodley crash down. www.authenticsaintssportsonline.com/customized/ . LOUIS -- Russell Martin wanted a better fate for his starting pitcher and helped deliver a happier ending.SAN FRANCISCO -- Hitting his first home run in a month gave Aaron Hill a sense of relief. Doing so in a victory made it even better. Hill homered, doubled and scored twice, Wade Miley pitched seven shutout innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 2-0 on Saturday. "It felt good to put a run on the board," Hill said. "There are always going to be times when you will be struggling. Its good just to contribute." David Peralta and Gerardo Parra each added two hits for the Diamondbacks, who won their fourth in six games. Marco Scutaro went hitless in two at-bats with a walk in his season debut for the Giants, who were shut out for the fifth time in 13 games. Miley (5-6) allowed four hits and won his second straight start for the first time since early April. He has given up three runs over his past 22 2/3 innings. "I found it later in the game. They were hitting the ball hard but right at people," Miley said. Brad Ziegler worked the eighth and Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 21st save in 26 chances. Ryan Vogelsong (5-7) gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. "With two runs it shows you how good a job Wade did and also on the other side with Vogelsong," Hill said. Vogelsong has lost his last four starts despite a 2.19 ERA over that span. The Giants have been shut out in each of his last three starts and given him no support in his last 24 2/3 innings. "Im sure hes frustrated," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He had a quality start, good stuff. I wish we could have gotten him some runs. He really threw the ball well." Scutaro, a post-season star for the Giants in their run to the 2012 championship, received a standing ovation when he came to the plate for his first at-bat of the season. He drew a walk. Scutaro has missed the first half of the year because of a back problem. Cameron Jordan Jersey. . Miley permitted one hitter -- Brandon Belt, who singled and walked twice -- to reach third base and that came with two outs in the seventh. "I couldnt throw him a strike," Miley said. "I wish I didnt walk him." Miley gave up one leadoff hit, and then promptly picked off Gregor Blanco in the fifth. "That pickoff hurt," Bochy said. "We were trying to bunt him over to second, maybe put a little more pressure on the pitcher with some good hitters coming up. He has a good move and got him." Hill homered with one out in the fourth. He hit a leadoff double in the seventh and Parras RBI single ended Vogelsongs day. NOTES: The Diamondbacks pushed RHP Chase Andersons scheduled start Sunday to five days after the All-Star break as a proactive move to reduce the possibility of fatigue as his workload increased. "It will be good for him, give him time to recover physically and mentally," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. LHP Vidal Nuno will make Sundays start instead. Recently acquired from the New York Yankees, Nuno threw seven shutout innings in his first appearance with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. ... Parra drove in just his second run since June 7.
