The Montreal Canadiens fans, following the last two seasons, are accustomed to bad news regarding injuries, but we all hope that this season will be better. Especially since the club's executives have taken concrete steps to try to remedy the situation.
In short, in this month of September, we have our first update on the injury situation at the Montreal Canadiens.
According to what journalist Renaud Lavoie revealed this morning on BPM Sports, defenseman Chris Wideman might not start the season on time, due to a back injury.
If Wideman has to start the season on the injury list, it will leave eight defenders who will have to fight for 6 or 7 spots. (Matheson, Savard, Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj, Barron, Kovacevic, and Lindstrom)
We can also mention Logan Mailloux, William Trudeau, and David Reinbacher, who might surprise us.
