GLENDALE - The Canadiens provided medical updates on Jake Allen, Paul Byron, Joel Edmundson, Brendan Gallagher, Mathieu Perreault, Carey Price, and Tyler Toffoli on Monday.

After suffering an injury in the January 12 game in Boston, Allen underwent an MRI earlier on Monday. More should be known on his status when the team returns to Montreal, but the previously announced timeline for Allen, which had him out for a minimum of one week, still applies.
Byron, meanwhile, skated on his own for a third day in a row. There's a good chance the speedy winger will join his teammates for a full practice on the current road trip.
Edmundson recently returned to Montreal following the passing of his father. The defenseman has not skated yet, and there is no timetable for his return at the moment.
For his part, Gallagher has been skating at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard, and could be back in 1-2 weeks.
Perreault is dealing with a lower-body injury, and there is currently no timeline for his return.
As for Price, he's met with both his and the team's doctors. The All-World netminder has resumed rehab on his knee and is making slow progress, but no timetable has been set for his return.
Finally, Toffoli is progressing well in his recovery from hand surgery, and is expected to return to action at some point on the current road trip.
The Habs also announced that there are no longer any players from the Club on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list.
Montreal faces the Arizona Coyotes at 4:00 p.m. ET at Gila River Arena on Monday.
