Schlemko (illness) will return to game action versus the Panthers on Saturday, Arpon Basu of The Athletic Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Schlemko is anything but a fantasy gem -- the journeyman's collected only one point (an assist) through 11 games this season -- Montreal needs all the help it can get against the two-way powerhouse of the Atlantic Division. We'd expect Schlemko to block a couple of shots with a realistic chance of clearing 20 minutes in this next contest.
