Martin St-Louis was caught in the middle of a discussion with a surprise guest at the Canadiens' practice: a friendly chat with Max Pacioretty

None other than former Habs captain Max Pacioretty showed up at Raleigh Arena to see some of his former teammates.

See the video posted by TVA Sports reporter Marc-André Perreault:

An interesting discussion between Martin St-Louis and Max Pacioretty.

Remember that Pacioretty injured his Achilles tendon for the second time this year and his season is over.

He will be free as a bird this summer and in search of a new contract.

Interesting fact: from what we understand, Pacioretty doesn't really come to the Hurricanes practices anymore, because of his injury (like Carey Price in Montreal), but Pacioretty insisted on coming to see the Habs.

We like it.

Pacioretty, 34, has three goals in five games this season. He is likely to sign a contract this summer.
