Texier (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's home game against the Wild and is considered day-to-day.
Texier will be replaced by Kirby Dach, who is returning from a foot injury, on the top line Tuesday. The 26-year-old Texier has registered seven goals, 16 points, 46 shots, 25 hits and a plus-7 rating over 27 appearances with the Canadiens since being placed on unconditional waivers by the Blues on Nov. 22. The Canadiens' next game is at home Thursday versus the Sabres.
