-Having defeated Utah HC 5 to 3 in its most recent outing, the Habs lost 2 to 1 in a shootout at the Bell Center in front of their rivals of the day on Saturday. Since then, the Stars have lost to the Ottawa Senators and defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs. They are one point behind the Minnesota Wild and second in the National League Central, while holding two games in hand.
The CH must make do without Emil Heineman, hit by a vehicle while he was walking in the streets. His absence is estimated at 3-4 weeks and for the moment, the organization has not made a recall from the Laval Rocket. Michael Pezzetta returned to action on Tuesday and was once again ineffective.
The club will not hold morning training. Head instructor Martin St-Louis will say more about his training during a press briefing scheduled for later in the day. Samuel Montembeault played the last two games for his team, who will have a busy weekend hosting the Leafs and the New York Rangers on Saturday and Sunday.
