Before the Montreal Canadiens’ morning skate began, it was announced that David Schlemko had been recalled after a one-game conditioning stint in Laval. He didn’t make it to practice in time to participate, however.
It was also announced that Tomas Plekanec was suffering from the flu, with his ability to play Saturday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in question.

Fortunately, Alex Galchenyuk, who had missed Friday’s practice with flu-like symptoms, was back on the ice, and it appears his illness will not cause him to miss any game action.
