Patrik Laine didn’t skate with the extras this morning

The day after a big win at the Bell Centre yesterday, the CH didn’t train this morning. The guys got some well-deserved rest… and will now focus on tomorrow night’s game.

That said, there was plenty of action in Brossard this morning (colleague Charles-Alexis Brisebois was on hand to see it all), as the extras jumped on the ice.

Jayden Struble and Michael Pezzetta were there, by the way.

We wondered if Patrik Laine would be skating with them… but he wasn’t.

We wondered which goalies would be jumping on the ice today, and the only one we saw was Jakub Dobes, who came out for a (brief) spin on the ice.

Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau weren’t there. The only other goalie on the ice was a practice goalie.

It’s safe to assume that Montembeault and Laine didn’t jump on the ice today because they’re injured. Seeing Dobes there for a short while may be a sign that he wants to be ready for tomorrow.

That said, if Primeau isn’t there… is it because the CH is hoping to see Montembeault in uniform tomorrow?

More details to come…
