Petry (lower body) is now listed on injured reserve, Marc Antoine Godin of Montreal's La Presse reports.

Analysis:

Per Arpon Basu of LNH.com, Petry will not travel with the Canadiens as they're bound for a three-game road trip that begins with Friday's match against the Sabres. Habs coach Michel Therrien did not say exactly when Petry will return, but indicated that the defenseman will miss "the next few games." With Petry unavailable, look for Greg Pateryn to fill in on the blue line Saturday, albeit in a role not conducive to putting up fantasy stats.
