Status report
The Canadiens did not have a morning skate following a 4-3 win at the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. … Dobes could start after Montembeault made 27 saves against the Sharks. ... Anderson is day to day and will miss his second straight game; the defenseman is skating on his own to maintain his conditioning.
