However, it would be necessary to wait a few weeks before seeing him back on the ice with his teammates. Ducharme hopes that he will join the team's practices after they return from their eight-game road trip to the West Island.
It's a return that will do a lot of good for the Tricolore's defensive squad, which has been struggling through the first five games of the season, giving up a total of 19 goals to their opponents. If the Habs want to get back on track quickly, they will have to give up far fewer goals. A healthy Joel Edmundson will go a long way in helping that cause.
