Montreal Canadiens
Head coach Claude Julien again stated that the team will carry only 21 players on their roster because of cap issues. When Noah Juulsen was claimed by Florida, Montréal couldn’t afford to potentially lose a second young defenceman in Victor Mete in consecutive days. Consequently, Michael Frolik and Corey Perry had to be exposed. “We don’t have a choice. We had to protect guys,” said Julien. Julien said he’s keeping his fingers crossed that the veterans will clear.
Juulsen was limited to 21 NHL games over the last two seasons because of a severe eye injury and its lingering effects. Julien believes Shane Churla, now with the Panthers, was instrumental in Florida claimin Juulsen because he was part ofe the Canadiens’ braintrust that drafted Juulsen.

Vancouver Canucks
Canucks cancelled practice yesterday due to false positive test from a player. They waited for the results of an additional text before resuming practice.
