The Canadiens will practice this morning as key injury updates loom
There will be action to start the week with the Montreal Canadiens in the next few minutes.
Things are moving with the Canadiens today, and all eyes are already on Brossard.
The Habs will hit the ice in the morning at the CN Sports Complex, with a practice scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
An interesting press conference is planned immediately afterward.
The context is simple: Martin St-Louis will speak ahead of a week of games that could set the tone.
When the head coach steps in front of the microphones after a full practice, it's rarely just to fill time.
Fans will be watching for new line combinations, players rotating in and out, and especially any clues about the lineup.
Several updates coming for the Montreal Canadiens
The table is set for some much-anticipated updates.
On December 27, the organization announced that Jake Evans would miss four to six weeks with a lower-body injury, and he has now returned to action.
Will today's press conference bring news on Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach as well?
That's what we'll be watching closely, and we'll keep you updated quickly with the details, but all signs point to Dach and Laine finally returning to action sometime this week.
That will force some major decisions in Montreal, which is exactly why today's press conference will be monitored very closely.
Details will follow over the next few minutes and later this morning.
