The Montreal Canadiens roll in to the final stop on their longest road trip of the season winners of three of their last four, but down a few more familiar faces.
The already-injury-riddled Habs will hit the ice tonight sans Brendan Gallagher (out a minimum of eight weeks with broken left hand) and Paul Byron (upper-body injury). They’ll look to their newest call-ups Sven Andrighetto and Nikita Scherbak to fill some pretty big (metaphorically, anway) skates.
Saturday night’s tilt will mark Scherbak’s first NHL game.
