BREAKING: Another Key Canadiens Player Injured?
Despite the 2023-2024 season being only a few weeks old, the Montreal Canadiens are already hit by numerous injuries
Although the 2023-2024 season is only a few weeks old, the Montreal Canadiens are already affected by numerous injuries with Kirby Dach, David Savard, and Rafael Harvey-Pinard currently sidelined.
As reported by Anthony Martineau last night, another key player for the team's success, defenseman Mike Matheson, is also hampered by an injury
Moreover, according to information reported by Anthony Martineau last night, another key player to the team's success, defenseman Mike Matheson, is also troubled by an injury at the moment. Indeed, even though number 8 publicly claims to be at 100%, those close to the team know he is not in his best physical condition currently.
"In 2023, sports teams are very discreet about the physical condition of their players who are dealing with minor or significant injuries, so we have no choice but to rely on what the players themselves tell us. In the case of Mike Matheson, we strongly suspect that he is currently carrying a minor physical issue." - Anthony Martineau
This situation would notably explain why the 29-year-old defenseman is having a lot of difficulties, making turnovers he does not usually make. Since the game against the Golden Knights, Matheson has only collected one assist in four games, while displaying a differential of -5.
Being by far the most-used player by Martin St-Louis this season, averaging nearly 25 minutes per game, let's just hope he does not worsen the discomfort he seems to be feeling right now. If the assistant captain of the Canadiens also had to be absent for an extended period, the Montreal defensive squad would surely be in trouble.
