In short, in this month of September, we have our first update on the injury situation at the Montreal Canadiens.
According to what journalist Renaud Lavoie revealed this morning on BPM Sports, defenseman Chris Wideman might not start the season on time, due to a back injury.
This had been a problem for him at the end of last season, and it seems that it has not been resolved. It reminds us of the Joel Edmundson case.
If Wideman has to start the season on the injury list, it will leave eight defenders who will have to fight for 6 or 7 spots. (Matheson, Savard, Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj, Barron, Kovacevic, and Lindstrom)
We can also mention Logan Mailloux, William Trudeau, and David Reinbacher, who might surprise us.
A case to follow in the coming weeks!
