As we mentioned yesterday morning, Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Newhook is getting closer to a return to play. He notably practiced for several minutes before the team's morning skate.

Moreover, in the last few minutes, the CH's number 15 took to the ice at the Bell Centre along with Adam Nicholas. The 22-year-old center wore full gear, participating in a much more intense session than the day before. According to Anthony Martineau, Newhook seemed very comfortable and did not appear to be bothered by any discomfort in his left ankle.
Wow! What great news!
Knowing that Brendan Gallagher will inevitably miss a few games due to his shoulder hit last night, the addition of Alex Newhook will certainly be very beneficial for the Montreal attack.
Acquired by the Tricolore in last summer's draft, the former Colorado Avalanche forward has recorded seven goals and six assists (thirteen points) in 22 games this season. He could represent a very interesting option to complete the duo of Sean Monahan and Juraj Slafkovsky when he is finally ready to rejoin the lineup.
It should be noted that the CH organization has also published a video of Alex Newhook's training, suggesting the possibility that he could make a return to play soon. Certainly, we are really eager to see him back in Martin St-Louis' lineup, as he had accumulated six points, including four goals, in his last seven games.
