On the Columbus Blue Jackets …
Aaron Portzline: Have been told that defenseman Seth Jones‘ upper-body is okay enough for him to play on Thursday. He left Monday’s game after the second period.
On the Montreal Canadiens …
Montreal Canadiens: Defenseman Shea Weber underwent surgery yesterday to repair tendons in his left foot. He’ll be out for six months.
John Lu: Coach Claude Julien said that goaltender Carey Price will skate again today. He’s been on the ice for three straight days. His concussion recovery is heading in the right direction.
Eric Engels: Coach Julien said that Andrew Shaw hadn’t been taken to a hospital and that he’s under evaluation. Can’t say for sure that he has a concussion.
John Lu: Stars defenseman Greg Pateryn on Canadiens Andrew Shaw: “I thought he took a run at me… it seemed like his head hit mine and there’s a reasons why a guy like that gets 4-5 concussions a year and I think his play speaks for (himself).”
John Lu: Pateryn continued: “He was knocked out as soon as he hit me; he knocked himself out when he hit me. I didn’t realize he was knocked out until he was on the ice and his eyes were in the back of his head. You play like that, that’s what happens sometimes.”
Eric Engels: Coach Julien on Pateryn’s comments: “Comments like that don’t deserve a response. They speak for themselves.”
