Canadiens' Petry out for Game 4 vs. Jets

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry is out for Monday's Game 4 versus the Winnipeg Jets.

With Petry unable to play, Alexander Romanov drew into the lineup for his NHL playoff debut.

Petry was injured during the second period of Game 3 on Sunday. The Canadiens are calling his ailment an upper-body injury.

The 33-year-old is an integral piece of Montreal's blue line. Petry posted 42 points over 55 regular-season games while averaging over 22 minutes per night. He's also produced a 52.15% expected goals mark at even strength across 10 playoff contests this spring, according to Evolving Hockey.

The Canadiens can complete a sweep of the Jets and be the first team to advance to Round 3 with a win Monday night.
