Status report

Nieto will likely play after being a healthy scratch the past three games. He took part in the optional morning skate. … Hayes, a forward, remained on the ice with the extras and is expected to be scratched. … The Canadiens will use the same lineup from a 3-2 shootout win against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.
