Status report
Heinen took rushes on the second line with Monahan and Garland during the Blue Jackets morning skate; Johnson, a forward, will be left out of the lineup. … Wood will play his first game since March 9 after being a healthy scratch the past eight games. … The Canadiens likely will dress the same lineup they used in a 5-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday; Montreal coach Martin St. Louis said Tuesday he will not reveal his lineup prior to game time for the rest of the season.
