Canadiens' Beaulieu in lineup for Game 5 vs. Lightning after missing 7 games
Jean-Yves Ahern / USA Today
Nathan Beaulieu is ready to return to action after missing seven games with a possible concussion.
Beaulieu is in the Montreal Canadiens' lineup for Saturday's Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Lightning - his first contest since suffering what the team called an upper-body injury in Game 3 of Montreal's first-round series against the Ottawa Senators.
Fellow blue-liner Greg Pateryn was scratched to make room for Beaulieu, who participated in warmups alongside likely defensive partner Tom Gilbert.
