Montreal Canadiens forward Andrew Shaw was designated as a healthy scratch for Saturday's contest versus the Boston Bruins, head coach Claude Julien announced, according to the team.

Winger Charles Hudon took his place on the club's fourth line. The 24-year-old has managed three points in six games this season.

Shaw, meanwhile, has recorded one goal and one assist in seven games so far this season while playing just over 11 minutes per night.

Two Vancouver Canucks stars are on the mend.

Both Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser said Saturday that they are back, and Canucks head coach Travis Green then confirmed his dynamic duo is ready to return Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pettersson suffered a concussion when he was hit and then slammed to the ice by Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson on Oct. 13.

Boeser missed two contests with a groin injury.

When it comes to hair cuts and facial hair, Kasperi Kapanen doesn't exactly trust Patrik Laine.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward recounted an amusing exchange he had with the Winnipeg Jets star when they faced each other earlier in the week.

"He told me to go get my hair cut last game," Kapanen told the assembled media on Saturday, including TSN. "But I think with his style last year, I think he’s the last guy (who should) tell me to cut any facial hair or hair on my body.”

Laine grew a lengthy beard down the stretch last season that he ultimately shaved off.

The two Finnish world junior teammates played in Wednesday's 4-2 victory by the Maple Leafs in Winnipeg, and they'll renew acquaintances Saturday night in Toronto.

Tom Wilson is taking his case to the next level.

The Washington Capitals forward will appeal his 20-game suspension to a third-party arbitrator after NHL commissioner Gary Bettman elected to uphold the ban, a source told Sportsnet's John Shannon.

Wilson was handed the suspension after he leveled St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist with a blindside hit during the preseason. He has currently served nine games of the ban and is eligible to return to the lineup against the Chicago Blackhawks on Nov. 21.

The 24-year-old inked a six-year, $31-million extension in July.

Mike Green returned to the lineup Friday when the Detroit Red Wings faced off against the Winnipeg Jets.

The veteran defenseman had been sidelined for the first nine games of the year after he contracted a virus during training camp. The ailment also prevented Green from lacing up in the preseason.

Green is anchoring the Red Wings' top pairing alongside rookie rearguard Dennis Cholowski.

In 66 appearances with Detroit last season, Green notched eight goals and 25 assists.
