BREAKING: Reinforcement to Arrive in the Canadiens' Lineup, and It's Confirmed for 31-Year-Old Forward Tanner Pearson
It was slightly overshadowed by the big mid-season press conference of General Manager Kent Hughes, which took place earlier today, but there was big news at the Habs' morning practice.
Don't be surprised if Joshua Roy is soon sent back to the Laval Rocket, because reinforcements will soon be arriving in Martin St-Louis' lineup.
Tanner Pearson practiced with his teammates for the first time in over a month!
The veteran is indeed very close to returning to play. He won't be in uniform tonight, but he could be for the next game.
