Status report
Scheifele is out after sustaining an injury during the Jets' 4-3 win at the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. The forward will be re-evaluated after the trip in Winnipeg. … Wheeler, a forward, is expected to miss his third straight game. … Eyssimont is expected to make his NHL debut after he was recalled from Manitoba of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis. … Price took part in the morning skate and the goalie stayed afterward for more work, though he isn't ready to play his first game of the season yet. "I trust him," Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said. "When he says, 'I'm ready,' then OK, he's going to play." … Suzuki had treatment and did not participate in the morning skate but is expected to play.
