The Montreal Canadiens will have forward Artturi Lehkonen with them when they embark on a five-game road trip this weekend.

Injured Habs Nathan Beaulieu and Brian Flynn, however, will not travel with the team. Both are out with upper-body injuries.

Lehkonen, who has been out with an upper-body injury of his own since Nov. 6, will be with the Habs when they play in Detroit on Saturday night. The club then plays three games in California and one in St. Louis.

The 21-year-old from Finland had two goals and an assist in 12 games with Montreal before he was hurt.

The Canadiens also said on Thursday night that defenceman Zack Redmond is being sent to AHL St. John's for two games of conditioning before rejoining the Canadiens in California next week.
