Neither team held a morning skate. ...Dvorak, a forward, was ruled out for Sunday and the Canadiens will go with seven defensemen. ... Primeau is expected to start after Allen made 22 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday. ... Johansson likely will start after Vasilevskiy made 16 saves in a 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday. ... Sheary, a forward, left the game against the Rangers and is questionable for Sunday. ... Sergachev, a defenseman, is not expected to play.
