Patrik Laine practiced Tuesday after missing the past two games because of an undisclosed injury.
Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said the forward and defenseman Alexandre Carrier will travel with the team but did not say whether Laine will be able to return for Game 5 at Washington on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; MNMT, ESPN, SNP, SNO, SNE, TVAS, CBC). Montreal trails 3-1 in the best-of-7 Eastern Conference First Round series.
"He's still day to day," St. Louis said.
Carrier, who did not practice, is day to day after he was injured on a hit by Wilson in Game 4 on Sunday. Carrier left the game with 6:35 remaining in the third period. Jayden Struble is expected to replace him in the lineup.
"I don't think you replace a player like [Carrier] with just another player, it's a collective effort," St. Louis said. "But we'll see tomorrow."
St. Louis was unsure whether Sam Montembeault would travel after the goalie did not practice because of an undisclosed injury that forced him to leave midway through Montreal's 6-3 win in Game 3 on Friday. He is day to day
Jakub Dobes will start and Cayden Primeau will be the backup goalie for a second straight game.
Forwards Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher and defenseman David Savard each took a maintenance day and did not practice, but all three are expected to play.
