It's all very mysterious and odd, but the important thing is that Slafkovsky is back at 100% and feeling well now.
By his own admission, it was indeed a strange injury.
«Juraj Slafkovsky talks about the upper-body injury that kept him out of the lineup for the last three games»
- Priyanta Emrith, who shared the following video.
Let's hope it's not the type of injury that can resurface at any moment or deteriorate.
Let's remember that Slafkovsky initially got injured in practice while simply taking a shot on net.
Also, he will be on the second line tonight with Joel Armia and Alex Newhook.
At only 20 years old, Juraj Slafkovsky is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound forward, drafted first overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2022.
He has accumulated 6 points in 6 games this season, after scoring 50 points in 82 games last season.
