Tom Szczerbowski / USA TODAY Sports
Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty is nothing if not resilient.
Pacioretty will be a game-time decision Saturday against the Ottawa Senators two days after he was taken to hospital during Thursday's game against the Anaheim Ducks. He missed practice Friday but returned to the ice Saturday morning.

Pacioretty has shown a tendency to recover quickly after suffering his share of serious injuries. He suffered a spinal fracture in March 2011, but returned for the start of the 2011-12 season.
