Monahan (lower body) will travel with the Canadiens for the team's upcoming four-game road trip, but he's still not ready for game action, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan will presumably continue to practice with the team during its four-game trip, but it sounds like the earliest he'll potentially be ready to return to the lineup will be Feb. 25 for a home matchup with Ottawa. The 28-year-old forward, who's picked up 17 points through 25 games this season, hasn't played since Dec. 5 versus Vancouver.
