It has just been confirmed by the Montreal Canadiens that reinforcement is immediately available with the official return to play of Jordan Harris.

"Recovered from his concussion, Jordan Harris has been given the green light by doctors for tomorrow's game.

This is the second concussion of his career, the first dating back to 2021 when he was playing with Northeastern University." - Luc Gélinas

The 23-year-old defenseman could therefore make his appearance in the Tricolore's defensive brigade as early as tomorrow, at the Bell Centre, facing the Buffalo Sabres.

Considering the impact of the hit he suffered on February 11, showing significant signs of concussion, it is still surprising to see him back in uniform so soon.

"Jordan Harris mentions not remembering the scene where he was hit by Samuel Blais, nor the moments that followed the collision.

The impacts of head hits are terrifying." - Anthony Martineau

It will be interesting to see who among Arber Xhekaj, Johnathan Kovacevic, or Harris will be left out of the lineup by Martin St-Louis for tomorrow's game.
