Petry (knee) practiced Friday and will return to action Saturday night against Ottawa, Pat Hickey of Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal head coach Michel Therrien said Petry will be a game-time decision, but the defenseman lined up with Andrei Markov on the second defensive pairing during Friday's practice and is very likely to start against the Senators. The Canadiens made room for his activation off the disabled list by waiving Sven Andrighetto on Friday.
