Corey Perry is expected to make his Montreal Canadiens debut on Saturday.

The Canadiens recalled Perry off the team's taxi squad ahead of its game against the Vancouver Canucks.

The move comes after Joel Armia and Paul Byron both left Thursday's win over the Canucks with injuries.

Perry, 35, signed a one-year contract with Montreal ahead of training camp but has been on the taxi squad since the season got underway.
