UPDATE - Goaltender Carey Price will not travel with the team to Florida (lower-body injury).
Price practiced with the team at their training facility in Brossard Thursday morning, but left the ice before the session was over.
Meanwhile, defenceman Karl Alzner was on the practice ice in Brossard. He was recalled from the Laval Rocket to replace the injured David Schlemko.
Joel Armia was also back practising. He hasn't played since going down with a knee injury on Nov. 6 in a game against the New York Rangers. Coach Claude Julien says he'll make the trip to Florida, but may not be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Panthers.
The Habs will also make stops in Tampa on Saturday night and Dallas on New Year's Eve before they return home to face the Vancouver Canucks next Thursday.
