Despite dealing with kidney stones, it looks like Desharnais will give it a go tonight vs. the Hurricanes. He will centre the fourth line though, so he has no fantasy relevance.
Boo Nieves will miss Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury so Desharnais will play between Jimmy Vesey and Paul Carey this afternoon. Desharnais has been a healthy scratch in the last three games and comes into play with just eight points (2G / 6A) in 20 games.
Desharnais has been regressing for the last few years, but has really struggled this season, registering just 10 points (4G / 6A) in 31 games with the Canadiens. The Oilers need some help in the face-off dot and Desharnais will bring that as a bottom-6 forward.
Desharnais is a potential trade piece for the Canadiens, so he will come out of the lineup so he doesn’t get hurt before Wednesday’s trade deadline. Desharnais has had a tough season, having recorded just 10 points (4G / 6A) in 31 games this season.
Desharnais has missed the last 24 games with a knee injury that he suffered in the early part of December. Desharnais is expected to centre Andrew Shaw and Sven Andrighetto tomorrow and comes into play with nine points (3G / 6A) in 25 games this season.
Desharnais has been sidelined since December 6th, but was on the ice this morning and should be ready to go once the Canadiens return from the All-Star break. The veteran centre has just nine points (3G / 6A) in 25 games this season.
Desharnais left Tuesday’s game with a knee injury and the HAbs announced this evening that he will miss at least six weeks. This is a huge blow for the Canadiens, who will also be without centre Alex Galchenyuk for 6-8 weeks.
Desharnais will miss his second straight game tonight and if he misses three weeks he will miss nine of 10 more games. With Desharnais out, Lars Eller is expected to remain in the top-6.

Desharnais went to the hospital on Sunday because of dehydration, but is with the Canadiens in Tampa Bay and should play on Wednesday.
Desharnais missed Game 2, but will travel to Tampa Bay and could play in Game 3 or Game 4. Desharnais did not record a point in Game 1 and has just two assists in seven games in the postseason.
Desharnais has registered a goal and two assists in his last two games, which were both Canadiens losses. He swapped places with Tomas Plekanec in practice on Thursday and is expected to skate in between Max Pacioretty and Dale Weise on Saturday.
