It doesn't appear that Lars Eller is ready to play in the immediate future. The forward, after missing yesterday's game against Dallas, skated in a non-contact jersey at practice today. P.K. Subban and Andrei Markov also missed practice.
Here is how the team lined up at practice.
#Habs: les trios du jour.
Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Andrighetto
Matteau-Plekanec-Byron
JDLR-McCarron-Mitchell
Lessio-Danault-Brown. — J-F Chaumont (@JFChaumontJDM) March 9, 2016As you could see, without Eller, Brendan Gallagher and David Desharnais, the second line depth has taken a big hit but it is an opportunity for Stefan Matteau.
