The injury kept him out of the end of the team’s game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Jake Allen skated but he is not yet ready for a return to play as both Cayden Primeau and Samuel Montembeault were also on the ice. Tyler Pitlick made his debut at practice in a non-contact jersey.
Artturi Lehkonen was supposed to take part in the team’s morning skate, but was not out on the ice. Brett Kulak also had a therapy day. The team has said this doesn’t mean they are ruled out for Tuesday’s game.
There was some good news for the Canadiens, Jonathan Drouin and Christian Dvorak were in regular sweaters, but they have not yet received the green light to return to game action.
Ben Chiarot, subject of trade rumours and speculation that the Canadiens may sit him out, also skated. The Canadiens don’t have much leeway with sitting Chiarot. Joel Edmundson will return to the lineup, but Kulak’s situation may still be up in the air.
In order to recall someone, they would have to place someone on waivers or injured reserve. Poehling is an obvious candidate for that, but if Drouin or Dvorak return then they will likely take that spot. Mathieu Perreault will likely draw in for Poehling should Lehkonen or the others not be ready to go.
The Canadiens play the Arizona Coyotes at the Bell Centre Tuesday night.
UPDATE (11:05am) : Josh Anderson did not participate in morning skate for a treatment day, and Ben Chiarot will be sat out of the game due to a “management decision.”

Novak Djokovic congratulated Australian Open runner-up Elena Rybakina on “an amazing tournament.” On Saturday, 23-year-old Rybakina fell just short of landing her second Grand Slam title. In the Australian Open final, Rybakina was up by a set before 24-year-old Aryna Sabalenka stormed back to win 4-6 6-3 6-4.
Six months ago, Djokovic and Rybakina lifted titles at Wimbledon. “@lenarybakina, amazing tournament,” Djokovic captioned his Instagram Story.

Djokovic congratulates Rybakina
Rybakina has now made Grand Slam finals in two of the last three Major tournaments.
After winning Wimbledon and finishing as runner-up at the Australian Open, Rybakina admits her confidence levels have increased and she now believes even more that she can win Grand Slams. “For sure, that’s the goal, to be in the second week of all the Grand Slam, to play finals.
I mean, now I have more confidence of course even after this final. I just need to work hard, same as I did during pre-season and actually throughout the years, be healthy, and for sure the results are going to come. I would say I’m trying to not think about expectations and everything.
Still after a great pre-season like this I was thinking I should show it on the court. Then, of course, the results are going to be there. First few weeks was not that great…but I think in the end it’s just confidence to go forward, to keep on working.
I feel now good physically also. I know if I’m going to keep on working, the results are going to be (good),” Rybakina said after the match, per Tennis Majors. Rybakina has proved over the last six months that she has what it takes to be a legitimate Grand Slam contender.
En route to reaching the Australian Open final, Rybakina defeated world No 1 Iga Swiatek. It will be interesting to see how will Rybakina do after a strong Australian Open run.
