Canadiens' Tomas Plekanec: Set to return

Plekanec (illness) took part in warmups and appears ready for Saturday's tilt with Toronto, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

Analysis:

The long-time Canadien missed out on Saturday's morning skate due to flu-like symptoms, but has seemingly recovered in time for Saturday's divisional clash. While Plekanec saw his production fall sharply from 54 points in 2016-17 to 28 points in 2017-18, his top-six role could provide him enough offensive opportunities to move the fantasy needle enough for deep settings.
