TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Montreal Canadiens assistant Luke Richardson is preparing to hand back the coaching duties to Dominique Ducharme for the remainder of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ducharme spent the past two weeks in mandatory self-quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. The 14-day period ends Thursday, leaving him eligible to return in time for Game 3 as the series shifts to Montreal on Friday night. The Canadiens could use a boost after losing the first two games in Tampa Bay. Montreal did show signs of improvement in a 3-1 loss on Wednesday.
