It went a bit under the radar because it was immediately followed by a flurry of trades, but the Montreal Canadiens released an official statement announcing that young Juraj Slafkovsky has once again been sent for a treatment day.
He was not on the ice today in Carolina, and it's becoming increasingly evident that he is bothered by something.
« Forwards Alex Newhook and Juraj Slafkovsky will not participate in today's practice (treatment day). » - Montreal Canadiens
Indeed, it was also noted that Newhook was absent from practice today.
More details to follow.
« Juraj Slafkovsky watching his teammates preparing to practice in Raleigh. He's clearly nursing something and is not skating today, along with Alex Newhook. But he sure looks like he wishes he could. » - Arpon Basu, The Athletic
A picture that speaks volumes:
Let's just hope that Slaf can be in shape to finish his great season.
