TORONTO - The Canadiens held a morning skate prior to their game against the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday.


Here is the projected lineup for tonight's game:
Earlier this morning, the Canadiens placed defenseman Arber Xhekaj on injured reserve and recalled Corey Schueneman from the Laval Rocket.
During his media availability, head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed that Schueneman will play tonight and Wideman will be a healthy scratch. Jake Allen will get the start in net.
The team also announced that forward Kirby Dach will not face the Leafs due to a non-COVID-19 related illness.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on TVA Sports, CBC and Sportsnet on TV, as well as TSN 690 and 98,5 fm on the radio.
