Important development concerning Jonathan Drouin

Let's recall the many important news of the day, for the Montreal Canadiens. First of all, there is a blur around the situation and the condition of Artturi Lehkonen.

Aside from all that, there are also some important developments among the team's injured players. While Ryan Poehling will be out indefinitely with what appears to be a serious injury, two other forwards are set to return to action.

Today, for the first time in a long time, Jonathan Drouin and Christian Dvorak practiced with their teammates, wearing regular jerseys.

No more non-contact jerseys for them. A major development and a clear sign that both players are very close to a return to the game.



So the second point is important. Dvorak and Drouin have taken a big step by getting the green light to receive contact, but they still don't have the OK from the doctors to return to play.

It could happen very soon though. I'm really looking forward to seeing them (especially Drouin) play under Martin St-Louis. It promises to be great!
