MONTREAL (CP) - With the prospect of a late start to their game against the Ottawa Senators, the Montreal Canadiens opted to skip their usual game-day skate Monday at the Bell Centre.
A 30-minute ceremony to retire the No. 29 jersey of former goaltending great Ken Dryden is to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by a 15-minute warm-up for both clubs. The puck is not expected to be dropped before 8:20 p.m. ET.
Dryden will be the 12th Canadien to be honoured with a jersey retirement and the second this season after former defenceman and general manager Serge Savard, whose No. 18 was raised on Nov. 18.
