The Montreal Canadiens will once again be without defenceman Mike Matheson when they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Wednesday night. Puck drop at 7:30 p.m. (SNE, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM).

Matheson missed last night’s game against the Utah Hockey Club with a lower-body injury and has also been ruled out for tonight.

Cayden Primeau will start in goal as he looks to turn his season around.
