The line at the Montreal Canadiens' infirmary is starting to get very long, with a number of soldiers including Paul Byron, Joel Edmundson, Jonathan Drouin, Cédric Paquette and Josh Anderson. We can even add Christian Dvorak, who is expected to play tomorrow after a day of treatment, and Carey Price to this big lineup.
During his press conference today, Dominique Ducharme gave a nice update on his injured players. So, where to start? At the beginning, I know...
The most nebulous case remains Jonathan Drouin, who is currently dealing with head pain when he makes an effort. At the time of writing, there is still no mention of a concussion.
In Price's case, Jake Allen said his counterpart was smiling, looking forward to reconnecting with his teammates, but not rushing things.
Just like that, when the media were talking to the coach about Mattias Norlinder, the coach had a big smile on his face, showing that he (Norlinder) might play in Thursday's game against the Calgary Flames.
