Montreal Canadiens
Star goalie Carey Price, who has missed the past two weeks with a concussion, is expected to skate with the Habs on Tuesday, head coach Dominique Ducharme said on Monday.
Shea Weber (upper-body), Paul Byron (lower-body) and Tomas Tatar (lower-body) all remain out and are listed as day-to-day.
Ducharme doesn't think injured forward Brendan Gallagher, out with a broken thumb, will return before season’s end but is hopeful he’ll be available for the start of the playoffs.
The Habs assign defenceman Xavier Ouellet to the AHL’s Laval Rocket. Jake Allen will start between the pipes Monday against the Leafs.
