Canadiens' Nathan Beaulieu: Back in action Thursday

Beaulieu (neck) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Devils, Sportsnet's Eric Engels reports.

Analysis:

Beaulieu is expected to skate with Zach Redmond on the Habs' bottom pairing, but he should also return to his role on Montreal's second power-play unit. The 24-year-old blueliner has six points (one goal, five assists) in 20 games this season, and his power-play opportunities make him an option in deeper fantasy leagues.
