Status Report
The Canadiens are expected to use the same lineup as they did in a 6-2 win against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. ... Schueneman and Primeau were not at the morning skate. Each had been assigned to Laval of the American Hockey League and played Friday. They are each expected to be recalled in time to be in the lineup for the Canadiens. ... Murray could back up after missing the past two games with a head injury but coach Sheldon Keefe said he would be evaluated Saturday afternoon before a decision is made. If he cannot back up, Keefe did not confirm who would be recalled from Toronto of the AHL. ... Jarnkrok, a forward, is day to day. ... Rielly and Brodie, each a defenseman, will sit out for rest. ... Gustafsson will play for the first time since Mar. 23. He returned to the team Apr. 4 after being away for a personal reason.
