After a difficult game this Tuesday against the New York Rangers, it's good to see a little optimism in the team's entourage.
Slafkovsky, despite still wearing a non-contact jersey, skated with his teammates, showing positive signs of progress.
Kaiden Guhle, for his part, also made an appearance on the ice, indicating that his state of health is gradually improving.
For tonight's matchup against the St. Louis Blues, it is impossible for either of them to be in uniform, even this Sunday in Philadelphia, against the Flyers. Medical staff continue to evaluate them daily.
Coach Martin St-Louis is expected to provide more details on their condition and the roster this evening during a press briefing.
Canadiens fans can expect Slafkovsky and Guhle to return soon, provided their progress goes well.
Let's just say that Martin St-Louis must be very excited! For what? Because both players had an incredible start to the season.
In six games this season, the Slovak has collected six points. For Guhle, in five games, he scored four points.
