As the Montreal Canadiens players returned to action today, gearing up for a big week of hockey, Martin St-Louis just received two pieces of good news.
The first involved Christian Dvorak, who was wearing a regular jersey, meaning he can finally take contact. This is normally the very last step before officially getting the green light to return to action.
TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau has also just reported images of Kirby Dach, who was also on the ice with the rest of the team, clearly testing his knee.
For now, while it would not be surprising at all to see Dvorak back in uniform by the end of the regular season, Dach's case may be less certain.
Nevertheless, according to the man himself, he is doing everything to speed up his return to play, so it would not be surprising if he could play at least one game by April 16.
