Dominique Ducharme announced two bad news Thursday morning

The coach reported that two other players had been added to the COVID-19 protocol list, but no names were revealed. They will be announced later today.

So we find 13 players on the list of COVID-19 on the side of Red, White, and Blue... It is the slaughter, downright!

With this set of absent players, the Canadiens will certainly recall one or two Laval Rocket players for the game against the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

On the good news side, Artturi Lehkonen will no longer be on the protocol list from today, while for Mike Hoffman, Tyler Toffoli and Laurent Dauphin, it will happen tomorrow.
