A rumour that 10,500 spectators will be allowed in the Bell Centre for Game 3 is FALSE

This afternoon, 91.9 Sports contributor Marc-Olivier Beaudoin tweeted what turns out now to be a false rumour: that Quebec public health will be allowing 10,500 spectators at the Bell Centre as of Game 3 of the series between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. Marjaurie Côté-Boileau, the Press Secretary for Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé, confirmed in a retweet that this is not correct.

Currently, a maximum of 3,500 spectators are allowed inside the Bell Centre for Habs games.
