Mike Matheson Set to Travel with Canadiens Ahead of Road Matchup in Boston

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body) will travel with the team ahead of Thursday's road game against the Boston Bruins. Out since late October, Matheson was a full participant in Tuesday's morning skate and appears close to returning. Before his injury, the 32-year-old blueliner recorded four points (one goal, three assists), 13 blocks, and five hits while averaging 23:45 of ice time in eight games.
