Status report
Fabbri moves onto the first line in place of Bertuzzi, a forward who did not make the trip because he is not vaccinated for COVID-19 and currently unable to enter Canada. … Chiarot moves to the top defense pair with Petry, and Niku will make his Canadiens debut. ... Wideman, a defenseman, will be a healthy scratch after playing each of the first five games.
