Montreal returns from a 2-2-1 road trip missing two centers. Alex Galchenyuk and David Desharnais each will miss 6-8 weeks because of a knee injury. Galchenyuk, who leads Montreal with 23 points, was injured in a 5-4 shootout win at the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday; Desharnais was injured in a 3-2 overtime loss at the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. "We believe that we have to keep playing the right way, the same way," coach Michel Therrien said after the morning skate in Brossard, Quebec. "We're a team that plays with pace, and even if we're missing some guys, the guys who are going to be on the ice are going to have to do the job to make sure we maintain that pace." Versatile forward Andrew Shaw is expected to move from the wing to center. "I think we've just got to worry about one game at a time, playing the right way," captain Max Pacioretty said. "We have good depth in this lineup and we like the team that we have, so some guys will definitely get opportunities to get more ice time, more offensive opportunities, so I know guys are excited to try and prove what they've got." Forward Phillip Danault, another option to move from the wing to center, was sent home before the morning skate because of illness, though Therrien said he is likely to play.
