Status report
The Canadiens will dress the same lineup they used in 5-3 loss at the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. ... The Maple Leafs will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 3-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday... Matthews skated for the first time since being injured; the center will miss his third straight game but coach Craig Berube said, "He's going in the right direction. ... He's feeling better." Placed on injured reserve Friday, Matthews will miss at least the next two games.
