He was bought out by the Leafs prior to this season with a $3 million deal and inked a $1 million contract with the Habs.

Colby Armstrong (knee) has declared himself fit to play.

He skated on the fourth line, with Jeff Halpern and Brandon Prust, during Monday's practice and said he felt good in the team's battle drills. "I'm good to go, he said. "Hopefully I'm in." It appears to be probable that he'll suit up against New Jersey on Tuesday night, but he doesn't have any fantasy value.

Armstrong missed the last 10 games with a knee injury. He has two goals and three assists in 35 games this season.

No word on where Armstrong could slot into the lineup. He doesn't expect to have any fantasy significance.
