There were 28 skaters at Canadiens practice Thursday, as the team prepares for their two final preseason games on Friday and Saturday. Like Matt Taormina before him, Chris Terry was placed on waivers in order to reassign him to the Laval Rocket. Terry is a prolific scorer at the AHL level, but never had a real chance to earn a spot with the Canadiens. As was the case with Taormina, Terry should clear waivers.
