Canadiens Get Two Unexpected Reinforcements Before Tonight's Game vs. Sharks
We have good news to announce regarding the Montreal Canadiens, and two players are directly involved.
First and foremost, against all odds, after his nasty fall late in the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Josh Anderson will be back in Martin St-Louis' lineup as early as tonight!
Let's recall that Anderson has missed all Canadiens practices since then, including this morning's session, but Martin St-Louis just announced (in a press conference) that Anderson will be in the lineup against the San Jose Sharks.
He is a true warrior!
Reinforcements arrive in Martin St-Louis' lineup: Josh Anderson and Michael Pezzetta are ready to return
The biggest news of the day is certainly Anderson's return, but it should also be noted that Pezzetta is ready to play as well, if needed.
The Canadiens are slowly getting healthier!
We can't wait to see him back in uniform.
Josh Anderson, 30 years old, 6-foot-3, and 226 pounds, has recorded 19 points in 58 games this season, including nine goals. Beyond the numbers, he's having an impressive season for Martin St-Louis' squad, especially considering he's been playing through injuries for a while.
Michael Pezzetta, 26 years old, 6-foot-1, and 219 pounds, has recorded 0 points in 14 games this season. He earns $812,500 and will become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) this summer.
More details to follow.
