MONTREAL – The Canadiens held a morning skate at the Bell Centre ahead of Saturday’s game against the Washington Capitals.

Jordan Harris was on the ice with his teammates wearing a gray jersey suggesting no contact.

Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield did not participate in the skate, benefiting instead from a therapy day.

During his pregame press conference, head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed that Jake Allen will get the start in goal. It was the only change from Thursday’s game in New York.
