Status report
The Canadiens did not hold a morning skate. ... Allen, a goalie, left Montreal's 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday after a collision with Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin. Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme said Allen had testing in concussion protocol, but did not confirm if he sustained a concussion. ... Primeau was recalled from Laval of the American Hockey League on Saturday. ... Boston held an optional skate on Sunday. ... Lazar, a forward, has been "playing through a little bit of a minor injury," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.
