Defenseman Alexandre Picard remains sidelined due to a hand injury and did not practice today. Picard who was injured in the third period of Saturday’s game, has not skated since Saturday. He entered camp in the mix for a top-7 spot but he hasn’t done enough to jump the likes of Matt Niskanen on the depth chart.
Picard's chances of making the team are drastically decreased by this injury. Last season, the Gatineau, Quebec native scored three goals and eight points through 43 games with the Montreal Canadiens. He holds close to no fantasy hockey value at this point.
