Beautiful Sight at Canadiens Practice as an Unexpected Surprise Hits the Ice

Martin St-Louis is getting reinforcements!

Not only did the two new players called up from the Laval Rocket hit the ice, but there was also a return!

That's the best news of the day for Martin St-Louis' squad!

Not only was Kirby Dach back, but he was already wearing a regular practice jersey.

It's a very nice surprise.

That could also explain the roster moves announced earlier!

The Canadiens technically didn't add any forwards.

Yes, Joshua Roy was called up from the Laval Rocket, but Owen Beck was sent down to the American Hockey League, which seems to indicate that Dach has a real chance to return to play as soon as tomorrow night.

The Habs wouldn't leave for such a long road trip out West with only twelve healthy forwards.

Let's remember, of course, that the big number 77 didn't play on Saturday and hadn't been back on the ice since.

Kirby Dach, 24 years old, has 2 points in 5 games this season with the Canadiens, including one goal, and he has a positive +/- rating of +1.

He's averaged 14 minutes and 30 seconds of ice time per game this season.

Would Kirby Dach's return to play mean the end of Zachary Bolduc's "punishment" on the fourth line?

Could we see the trio of Bolduc, Dach, and Brendan Gallagher back in action?

Answers coming in the next few minutes.
