Martin St-Louis steps away from Canadiens entourage temporarily due to Family Reasons
TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie has just announced important news regarding Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis.
He has temporarily stepped away from the team for family reasons.
At this time, nothing indicates that he is at risk of missing tomorrow night's game against the Ottawa Senators, but it is still a situation to monitor.
Martin St-Louis is not with the team today, he is not in Ottawa with the Canadiens, and it is unknown when he will return
We obviously hope to see him back as soon as tomorrow, and we hope that everything is going well with his wonderful family.
"Martin St-Louis not at Canadiens practice because of a family commitment."

For today, it will therefore be Stéphane Robidas and Trevor Letowski, among others, who will take over.
According to what was reported, the head coach is indeed absent due to a family commitment.
The Canadiens therefore held a session without him, ahead of a press conference expected afterward.
The club did not provide many details, and that is perfectly fine.
When it involves family, you close ranks and respect the bubble.
The only thing that matters is that everything is okay for him, period.
Meanwhile, there was still another major piece of news, live from Ottawa, for the Montreal Canadiens. Patrik Laine joined the group on the ice today, along with Evans and Dach.
So there is plenty of action today!
Laine has played only five games this season and has one point, one assist.
Evans has played 34 games, with 10 points, including five goals.
Dach has played 15 games and has seven points, with five goals.
This is exactly the type of news that forces quick decisions.
The demotions of Jacob Fowler and Owen Beck to Laval have already freed up space, and now you can feel that the organization is preparing for what comes next.
Details to follow.
