Status report
The Canadiens did not have a morning skate. They are expected to use the same lineup from a 4-1 win at the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. … The Jets held an optional morning skate. Mercer is expected to make his Jets debut after being acquired in the trade that sent goalie Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils on Friday. He would replace Lambert, a forward. … Salomonsson was recalled from Manitoba of the American Hockey League on Saturday and will make his season debut after recovering from shoulder surgery in April. … Namestnikov, a forward, was placed on injured reserve Friday retroactive to Oct. 15.
