Status report
Mete will play for the first time since Feb. 2; he has been a healthy scratch for 12 of the Canadiens' 14 games... Perry practiced on the power play during the morning skate and could play, though Montreal coach Claude Julien said he has not yet decided on changes at forward. ... Thornton, a center, practiced Friday but has not been cleared to return.
