Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Saros will likely start after Lankinen made 32 saves in a 4-0 loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. … Savard has been activated and will play his first game since Oct. 23 after missing 22 games with a broken hand. The Canadiens will determine which defenseman comes out after warmups. ... Pezzetta replaces an injured Pearson on Montreal's third line.
