Petry a game-time decision for Game 4 vs. Jets

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry is a game-time decision for Monday's Game 4 versus the Winnipeg Jets, head coach Dominique Ducharme announced.

If Petry can't suit up, either Xavier Ouellet or Alexander Romanov will take his place.

Petry was injured during the second period of Game 3 on Sunday. The Canadiens are calling his ailment an upper-body injury.

The 33-year-old is an integral piece of Montreal's blue line. Petry posted 42 points over 55 regular-season games while averaging over 22 minutes per night. He's also produced a 52.15% expected goals mark at even strength across 10 playoff contests this spring, according to Evolving Hockey.

The Canadiens can complete a sweep of the Jets and be the first team to advance to Round 3 with a win Monday night.
