- Pat Hickey via Montreal Gazette: Canadiens forward Mike Cammalleri will travel with the team to Pittsburgh. “I don’t know whether I’ll be playing,” said Cammalleri, who missed the past three games with a deep cut on his right knee. “If it was up to me, I would have played three games ago.” Cammalleri still needs to get clearance from doctors.
