News on the injury suffered by Ivan Demidov
Let's recall, of course, that the Habs confirmed first updates on Ivan Demidov's Health.
And all of this comes after the dangerous slash delivered by Nick Cousins to Ivan Demidov, directly at wrist level.
Eric Engels also expects the NHL to announce sanctions on multiple players.
Let's remember that after this unnecessary slash, Demidov left the game and wasn't even able to return to the ice to accept his third star of the game.
Demidov, 19 years old, was the 5th overall pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2024 and recorded 2 points in 2 games last season.
Cousins, 32 years old, was the 68th overall pick by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2011 and recorded 15 points in 50 games last season.
More details to follow.
