As we mentioned earlier today, forward Patrik Laine was absent for the Montreal Canadiens this morning.
The practice took place at the Bell Centre, as it is game day in Montreal, with the San Jose Sharks in town.
We know that Kirby Dach is injured, we know that David Savard is dealing with discomfort since he has missed several practices recently, and we know that Brendan Gallagher had an obligation. But in the case of Patrik Laine, there was no clear reason for his absence.
This raised some questions.
The Canadiens announce that today's practice was optional
"MONTREAL - The Canadiens held an optional morning skate ahead of their matchup against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday."
- Montreal Canadiens
Laine appears to be the "only" player who simply chose not to take the ice this morning, without an apparent reason.
Let's not forget that Martin St-Louis' squad will indeed face the San Jose Sharks at home tonight, starting at 7:00 PM.
