Pre-game Notes and Quotes
  • Jeff Petry will not play against the Sabres but is practising with the team and could return on Saturday against the Senators.
  • Carey Price is suffering from the flu and is not travelling with the Caanadiens. Charlie Lindgren has been recalled from St. John’s to back-up Al Montoya.
  • Max Pacioretty: “It’s going to be a lot of fun. Our summer was way too long.We’re ready to put last year in the past and we can’t really do that until the puck drops for the regular season. We’re on to a new year and it’s time to look forward.”
