Petry (hand) skated Sunday, and coach Dominique Ducharme said Petry could resume practicing with the team as soon as Monday or Tuesday, John Lu of TSN Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ducharme stopped short of ruling Petry out for Monday's series opener against the Golden Knights, though the veteran blueliner isn't expected to be available for that game. Petry seems to be progressing in his recovery and has a good chance of returning for Wednesday's Game 2 if he misses Game 1.

Petry (hand) isn't expected to be available for Game 1 of the Canadiens' third-round series, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Petry isn't expected to be available for Game 1 versus the Golden Knights or the Avalanche in the third round, he is expected to be ready to return "early in the series." The 33-year-old blueliner has picked up three helpers through 10 contests this postseason.

Petry (upper body) should be available "early in the next round".

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens finished off the four-game sweep against Winnipeg on Monday despite Petry's absence. Head coach Dominique Ducharme said that his status for Game 1 next round is unclear because there's no set start date, but he should be available early in that series. Petry has three points while averaging 23:51 of ice time in 10 postseason games.

Petry (upper body) will not be available for Game 4 against Winnipeg on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry suffered an injury in Game 3 on Sunday and won't be ready for the quick back-to-back Monday night. He'll be questionable ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 matchup if the Jets avoid elimination in Game 4. Alexander Romanov or Xavier Ouellet will likely replace the 33-year-old veteran Monday.

Petry (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's Game 4 against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Petry left Sunday's Game 3 early, and with no break in between games, he'll need to recover quickly to suit up for Game 4. With a 3-0 series lead, the Canadiens can afford to exercise a bit of caution with the all-situations blueliner, if necessary. Either Xavier Ouellet or Alexander Romanov would fill Petry's spot if the veteran ends up sitting out.

Petry (upper body) left Game 3 against Winnipeg on Sunday and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

Petry appeared to get a finger caught in a camera hole in the glass but it's unclear if that's why he left the game. The 33-year-old blueliner recorded a plus-1 rating in 16:02 of ice time before exiting. He'll be questionable for Monday's Game 4 tilt.

Petry added two assists in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Jets in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old was active Wednesday night, assisting on the opening goal and game-winning goal for the Habs to secure the Game 1 victory. Petry was also a plus-2 in the contest and had two hits and two blocks. The Michigan native has just three points in these playoffs after posting 42 points in 55 games this regular season.

Petry recorded a power-play assist, five hits, two blocked shots and two shots on net in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Petry recorded the first point by a Canadiens defenseman in the first-round series when he helped out on Tyler Toffoli's goal. It was still a net-negative performance from the 33-year-old Petry, as both of the Maple Leafs' goals deflected off of him before going in the net. The Michigan native has racked up a minus-3 rating, 22 hits, 12 blocked shots and 16 shots on goal through six contests, but his lack of offense is troubling after he posted 42 points in 55 regular-season outings.

Petry (undisclosed) will play Thursday's Game 1 against Toronto, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petry sat out the last game of the regular season, likely for rest, and is good to go for the Canadiens' postseason opener. The 33-year-old had the best season of his career in 2020-21, putting up an impressive 42 points in 55 games while recording 22:44 of ice time. He'll assume his usual top-pairing and No. 1 power play duties.

Petry (undisclosed) will sit out Wednesday's game against Edmonton, Arpon Basu of The Athletic

EDGE Analysis

With all four North Division playoff seeds set, the Canadiens are resting plenty of regulars in their season finale, so Petry is likely just being given some rest. There's no reason why the blueliner shouldn't be good to go for Game 1 against the Maple Leafs next week.
