Pacioretty returns to Canadiens' lineup after concussion (The Associated Press)

MONTREAL (AP) -- Canadiens leading-scorer Max Pacioretty may return to the lineup for the second game of their Eastern Conference playoff series with the Ottawa Senators on Friday night.

Montreal coach Michel Therrien says Pacioretty was ''feeling good'' after participating in the game-day skate Friday and ''that's a good sign,'' but he hadn't talked to the medical team yet.

Pacioretty suffered a concussion and injured his neck during a game against the Boston Bruins in early March. Pacioretty led the Canadiens with 37 goals and 67 points this season.

Therrien says forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau will sit out against the Senators because of an upper body injury.
