Kirby Dach attends training in regular jersey

That’s why, even though it’s not a game day (the team will be playing tomorrow), the Canadiens’ training session took place at the Bell Centre and not in Brossard.

After the photo, Kirby Dach was seen skating with the others. And he was wearing a red sweater, so he’s a regular.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he’ll return to action this season. After all, if the doctor who operated on him doesn’t want him back soon, he won’t be back soon.

And in any case, he wasn’t skating at the speed of light either, let’s face it.

That said, it’s interesting to see him skate like this, because even if he doesn’t play in two weeks’ time, the object of the game will be to see him have a normal – or near-normal – off-season.

That’ll be important for next year.

It’s worth noting that Christian Dvorak, who could return to the game, also skated in a jersey that doesn’t prevent him from receiving contact from his teammates during training.

There’s more and more talk of a potential return, and we’ll see if it happens, but it’s clearly possible.

As for the rest of the forwards, Tanner Pearson wasn’t in the top-12. I really wonder if we’ll see him by the end of the season the way things are progressing.

We’ll see in due course.

Overtime

– Big duel in sight.

– He has no choice.

– 1000 games… and no playoffs? Ouch.
