David Desharnais will remain in quarantine. 

The shifty Montreal Canadiens pivot will not be on the charter to Florida on Monday in preparation for Game 3 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning as he continues to battle an illness, the team announced.

Desharnais was announced as a scratch just prior to puck drop of Sunday's 6-2 loss. 

With an extra day between starts, Desharnais has an extra day to rest and potentially book travel plans before Wednesday's game.
