Josh Anderson said he expects be in the lineup when the Canadiens play at the Arizona Coyotes on Monday (4 p.m. ET; ESPN+, HULU, TSN2, RDS, NHL LIVE).
The forward has missed 11 games because of an upper-body injury sustained against the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 2. He was expected to be out 2-4 weeks.
"Anytime you're out for any period of time it's difficult not to be out there with your teammates," Anderson said Saturday. "All you want to do is try to help them and you can't do that up in the stands. Hopefully I'll be back next game and bring a lot of energy to the lineup."
Anderson is tied with Nick Suzuki for the Canadiens lead with seven goals, and his 13 points in 25 games are fourth. Montreal is 1-7-3 since he was injured.
"I'm just hoping to bring the game that I play, the energy, being physical, being fast to the puck, and hopefully bring some other guys along with me," Anderson said. "I'm excited to get back."
Goalie Jake Allen is expected to be out one week because of an injury sustained in the first period of a 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. Goalie Cayden Primeau was recalled from the taxi squad on an emergency basis.
