Canadiens' Max Pacioretty: Takes the ice Saturday

Pacioretty (illness) participated in warmups before Saturday's game against the Blues and is expected to play, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Pacioretty missed the morning skate, but barring an unexpected setback, he should be good to go for the game. Pacioretty is having a great season with 27 goals and 48 points in 56 games, so fantasy owners have to be happy about the way this shook out.
