Montreal Canadiens

With both player and agent approval, defenceman Noah Juulsen will consult a specialist for a second opinion regarding his headaches. He sat out of practice on Sunday due to a headache and wasn't listed on today's practice group lists. He was limited to just 21 games last season due to a facial fracture and eye injury. 

Forward Michael McCarron is day-to-day with a groin injury. 

A first-round pick (25th overall) by Montreal at the 2013 NHL Draft, McCarron registered 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 32 games with the AHL's Laval Rocket. He underwent season-ending left shoulder surgery in February.
