During the last few seconds, we have witnessed an extremely encouraging and positive scene live from Brossard.

Alex Newhook on Track for a Return to Play for the Montreal Canadiens

Wow! Here's some excellent news! It was already a big surprise to see him back on skates yesterday at the Bell Centre.

And now today, Alex Newhook has taken another huge step in his return to play process.

He is already practicing in full gear!

"Alex Newhook is practicing with full equipment this morning.

Increased intensity compared to yesterday. Testing his ankle even more. Balance exercises and sharp turns." - Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports

"Alex Newhook is practicing in full gear this morning, along with Adam Nicholas.

It was mostly more intense than in this high-quality video." - Simon-Olivier Lorange, La Presse

He was originally supposed to return to play at the beginning of March, but clearly, he seems to be ahead in his rehabilitation and we could see him back in uniform for the Habs sooner rather than later.

This will be a big reinforcement for Martin St-Louis!
