Gary Bettman has just announced a verdict involving the Montreal Canadiens and a decision by Kent Hughes

As notably reported by our colleagues at RDT, while the Montreal Canadiens' preseason schedule will finally kick off this month, please note a significant change.

For the upcoming season, the CH management made a special request to the NHL, which has been accepted by Gary Bettman.

Kent Hughes requested an adjustment to the preseason schedule, reducing the number of preseason games from eight to six to prevent player injuries.

Recall, in particular, that Mike Matheson was injured last season in the preseason games, and the CH rightly wants to minimize these risks this year.


Clearly, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are taking all necessary measures to have as healthy a team as possible for the 2023-24 campaign.

Renaud Lavoie explains,


This request has indeed been accepted by the NHL, so we will have slightly fewer CH preseason games this month.
