Montreal Canadiens defenceman Alexander Romanov will be able to play Saturday against the Ottawa Senators after taking a puck to the face in practice Friday.
Canadiens head coach Claude Julien said Romanov did not suffer any fractures after Jonathan Drouin's shot caught him in the face. The 21-year-old did, however, require stitches.
He did not return to practice Friday after the incident.
Romanov, 21, returned to the Canadiens lineup for Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators after being a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks.
A second-round pick of the Canadiens in 2018, Romanov has one goal and two points in 10 games this season.
