Official announcement for Rafael Harvey-Pinard
After a hard-fought 7-5 win over the Buffalo Sabres, the Montreal Canadiens returned to the ice in Brossard for a well-deserved workout.
Head coach Martin St-Louis' group is now preparing to head to Minnesota, where they will face the Wild on Thursday night.
A short break before hitting the road again. It's strange that they're not already in Minnesota, but who am I to manage the logistics of the CH?
However, it was much more encouraging news that marked the day at practice: the return of Rafael Harvey-Pinard to the ice.
The Quebec forward, who suffered a broken leg just before the start of the season, seemed more and more ready to return to the game.
Wearing his regular jersey spoke volumes about his progress. Let's face it, this return is a breath of fresh air for a team that is currently struggling at the bottom of the standings, occupying last place in the NHL.
At 25, Harvey-Pinard showed great promise last season, collecting 10 points in 45 games.
His return could be crucial for the Canadiens' attack, which is already lacking stability. However, it remains to be seen whether the left winger will be fully recovered before playing in a series of games.
What is certain is that his return would be a real asset for the team, which hopes to recover after a difficult start to the season.
Martin St-Louis, whose team is struggling to find its feet, will undoubtedly see in this return a hope of performing better in the coming weeks.
