Denis Gurianov won't wear the Montreal Canadiens' special Pride Night uniforms and will sit out warmups for Thursday's game against the Washington Capitals.

In a statement, while not identifying Gurianov, the Canadiens said one of their players chose not to wear the Pride jersey "for family reasons."

Said head coach Martin St. Louis of Gurianov's decision, "I don't know the repercussions, and I've never walked a day in his shoes."
