Two surprises for Montreal Canadiens fans today and it concerns directly Jonathan Drouin and Joel Armia

There was a lot of news from the Montreal Canadiens today, and the absentees got a lot of attention, but there were also two nice surprises.

Among the absentees, Kirby Dach, Christian Dvorak, Joel Edmundson and Evgenii Dadonov all missed practice to receive treatment.

However, despite this bad news, we learned two good ones.

Forwards Jonathan Drouin and Joel Armia were already back at practice!


We weren't expecting them back anytime soon, but they hit the ice this morning, which bodes well for a return to the lineup as soon as the NHL All-Star Game break is over.

This is what the organization should confirm in the next few days. It's going to feel good!


Thus, this will be a case to watch.

Drouin, 27, has 12 points (no goals) in 28 games this season.

Armia, 29, has 7 points (three goals) in 32 games this season.
