Canadiens' Christian Dvorak: Cleared for contact

Dvorak (upper body) has been cleared for contact in practice but still does not have a return timetable, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Dvorak has sat out the last 18 games with the injury and figures to miss at least a couple more while he gets up to game speed. The 26-year-old has produced 16 points in 34 games in his first season outside Arizona.
