Meanwhile, the Habs have agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with forward Jan Mysak.

The deal begins next season and will take him through 2023-24.

The 18-year-old was selected in the second round (No. 48 overall) in last year's draft. He was Montreal's third pick in the draft after defenceman Kaiden Guhle at No. 16 and forward Luke Tuch at No. 47.

A native of Litinov in the Czech Republic, Mysak has two goals in 13 games so far this season with the AHL's Laval Rocket. He also played five games for the Czech World Junior team at this year's tournament, finishing with two goals and one assist.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Forward Zac Dalpe will return to the lineup Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning, replacing Riley Nash according to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.

Forward Liam Foudy will also be back from the taxi squad to play Tuesday night.

Portzline reports that the injury to Nash will likely alter the Jackets' trade deadline plans.

The knee injury picked up by Nash, a pending free agent, will sideline him for four to six weeks, likely removing him from trade consideration.

The 31-year-old Nash has two goals and five assists in 37 games this season.

Head coach Jon Cooper told reporters he is hopeful Erik Cernak will be able to return to the team on their four-game road trip, which concludes next weekend in Nashville against the Predators. He skated with the team again on Tuesday.

Cernak has been out since March 16 because of a lower-body injury.

He has one goal and nine assists in 29 games for the Bolts so far this season.

Rau, 28, has appeared in 10 games with Minnesota this season and has one assist. He has also spent time with the Florida Panthers at the NHL level.
