Petry (upper body) was labeled a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's clash with Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Despite initial reports that Petry wouldn't be available, it seems the defenseman will be a game-time call. With Chris Wideman (personal) unavailable, the Habs will have to turn to Corey Schueneman to fill out the lineup while Kale Clague would likely see the biggest uptick in ice time.

Petry (upper body) will not be available versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry will be on the shelf for his fifth consecutive contest due to his upper-body problem. Prior to getting hurt, the defenseman was bogged down in a 14-game pointless streak and is still looking for his first goal of the 2021-22 campaign. As such, the Michigan native shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value once given the all-clear.

Petry (upper body) isn't expected to play Saturday versus St. Louis, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although he's not expected to be available against the Blues, Petry was on the ice for Saturday's morning skate, so he could be ready to return to action sooner rather than later. Kale Clague will likely continue to skate on Montreal's bottom pairing until Petry's cleared to play.

Petry (upper body) will not play Thursday against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Petry is reportedly not far from returning, so he could be an option as soon as Saturday in St. Louis. The 34-year-old has now missed three straight games and has just one point since the start of November.

Petry (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Petry last played Dec. 2 versus the Avalanche, so he'll be eligible to return Thursday versus the Blackhawks. The 33-year-old defenseman has not been assigned a timeline to return from his injury yet.

Petry (upper body) is set to be out of action against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry -- who will miss his second straight match due to his upper-body issue -- is stuck in a 14-game pointless streak. With only two points in 25 outings this year, the defenseman will likely miss the 40-point mark for the first time since 2016-17 after having reached that threshold in four straight seasons.

Petry will miss Saturday's game in Nashville due to an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when the defenseman suffered the injury and how severe it is. Petry, who has a pair of assists this season, should be considered day-to-day with a chance of returning for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay.

Petry had an assist, one hit and one blocked shot over 26:22 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Petry was a game-time decision due to an undisclosed injury, but the blueliner logged a team-high 26:22 of ice time. He also figured in the scoring for a second straight game, helping set up Nick Suzuki's game-winning score early in the first period. Petry, like many members of the Canadiens, has started the season slowly with just two points through 11 games. This, after he averaged nearly a point per game last season (42 points, 55 games).

Petry (undisclosed) will suit up against Detroit on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry wasn't available for Monday's practice but he won't miss any game action with his minor injury. The 33-year-old blueliner has one assist while averaging 24:09 of ice time through 10 games.

Petry missed Monday's practice session and will be a game-time call versus Detroit on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Habs didn't provide any details regarding the nature of Petry's absence, the fact that he is at least a game-time decision Tuesday should be an indication it's not a serious injury. Still, without Petry, Montreal will have to rely even more on Ben Chariot and Alexander Romanov to log big minutes on the blue line.
