Status report
The Canadiens will use the same lineup from their 3-2 shootout win against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. ... Woll, a goalie, was placed on injured reserve and will miss about one week after he was injured during a 5-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday; Akhtyamov was recalled from Toronto of the American Hockey League and will back up Hildeby. ... Tanev participated in the morning skate in a noncontact jersey. Berube said he will be reevaluated this week.
