There are 10 games remaining in the Canadiens’ 2022-23 season, starting with a Saturday night matchup at home against the league-worst Columbus Blue Jackets. Starts at 7 p.m. (SNE, CITY, TVA Sports, TSN 690 Radio, 98.5 FM)

Defenceman Jordan Harris will return to the lineup after missing eight games with a lower-body injury. Mike Hoffman took a cross-check to the face against the Boston Bruins on Thursday, but he’ll suit up with a face shield. A.J. Greer received a one-game suspension for the cross-check.
