There was a lot of action today for the Montreal Canadiens, and not much good news.
First, the organization announced this:
"Forwards Kirby Dach and Sean Monahan and defenseman Chris Wideman are not participating in practice this morning (treatments)."
- Montreal Canadiens Dach's absence is definitely not good news, and as for Sean Monahan, it's not a good sign, as Renaud Lavoie mentions:
"Sean Monahan is not at practice today. Not a very good sign."
We then got a nebulous update:
"Update on absent players.
Injured, Wideman will not make the trip the rest of the way
Ill, Dach not leaving with club but could go to Philly
Edmundson: daily evaluation since January 26
Monahan: nobody knows anything."
- Luc Gélinas, RDS
There is also good news, as young defenseman Kaiden Guhle will be on the trip for his part.
Back to Monahan, who seems to be a worrying case, see what Renaud Lavoie mentioned this morning:
Friday he skated alone in Toronto, and wasn't able to push properly, Saturday, St-Louis confirmed that Monahan reached a plateau.
It's looking unlikely he will get traded before March 3rd of he can't get on the ice.
More details will follow.
