Petry (finger) participated in Thursday's practice session, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry ended the Canadiens' deep playoff run with a finger injury after getting them caught in a camera hole during the second round. The defenseman will be counted on for a significant role with Shea Weber (ankle) not expected to play this season. Petry recorded his fourth straight 40-point campaign with 12 goals and 30 helpers in just 55 contests in 2020-21.

Petry will have a follow-up appointment to determine whether his finger injury will require surgery, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry evidently had to tape his fingers together in order to continue playing after getting his hand caught in a camera hole during Game 4 of Montreal's second-round series versus the Jets. If he's forced to undergo surgery in order to correct the issue, he could be in danger of missing time at the start of the 2021-22 campaign. The 33-year-old blueliner finished the 2020-21 season with 12 goals, 36 helpers and 164 shots on net through 75 contests.

Interim head coach Dominique Ducharme said Petry dealt with injuries to his fingers during the playoffs, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry missed two games during the postseason after getting his fingers caught in a camera hole in the glass in Game 4 versus the Jets. This is likely a lingering issue from that injury, although he was able to play through it for the last 10 games of the playoffs. The defenseman had six assists, 51 hits, 31 blocked shots and 36 shots on net through 20 playoff contests.

Petry notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Petry set up Nick Suzuki's tally at 18:04 of the second period. The 33-year-old Petry has struggled to produce offense in the postseason with six helpers and 34 shots on net through 18 outings. He's added 44 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in a top-four role.

Petry provided an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Petry had the secondary helper on Cole Caufield's second-period tally. The 33-year-old Petry finished the Stanley Cup Semifinals with two helpers in five games after returning to the lineup in Game 2. He should be fine for a top-four role with power-play duties heading into the Cup Finals. He has five helpers, 24 shots on net, 37 hits and 31 blocked shots through 15 playoff outings overall.

Petry produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Petry has healed from a hand injury, but he's also battled an upper-body injury in the last week. It was noticeable, as the defenseman's eyes were red, which was later revealed to be a result of a bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. That issue doesn't appear to affect Petry's vision or his performance, as he was able to log 20:47 of ice time in the win. He's picked up four points, 22 shots on net, 29 hits and 21 blocked shots through 11 playoff outings.

Petry (hand) will play in Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Golden Knights, contrary to a previous report.

EDGE Analysis

Petry didn't take line rushes during warmup, but the final roster report has him in the lineup. Look for the 33-year-old to take on a second-pairing role for the Canadiens. Brett Kulak will exit the lineup to make room for Petry's return.

Petry (hand) did not participate in line rushes and will not play in Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Golden Knights, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry will miss his third straight game with the injury. His presence on the ice during warmups is a positive trend -- the veteran defenseman may be deemed a game-time call again prior to Friday's Game 3.

Petry (hand) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 2 versus Vegas, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry has yet to be cleared for contact, but if he's able to fully participate in Wednesday's morning skate, he could be an option for Game 2 against the Golden Knights. The 33-year-old blueliner has missed two contests since suffering a hand injury in Game 3 against Winnipeg on June 6.

Petry (hand) practiced in a non-contact jersey Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry was able to join his teammates for morning skate, but he won't be an option for Monday's Game 1 since he's yet to be cleared for contact. Further updates on his status should surface prior to Wednesday's Game 2.
