BROSSARD – The 4 Nations Face-Off may still have a game left to play, but the Canadiens held their first practice since the break at the CN Sports Complex on Tuesday.

The Habs also announced that forward Michael Pezzetta was out with a lower-body injury and was being evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
