In the last few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens confirmed some rather worrying news to the team's fans. Indeed, forwards Sean Monahan and Jesse Ylönen will not participate in this morning's practice, as they will be receiving treatments from the medical staff.
With the numerous injuries (Dach, Newhook, and Anderson) currently hitting Martin St-Louis's team, we strongly hope that Sean Monahan and Jesse Ylönen will be able to travel with the team to play the next three games of the Canadiens.
As for Jesse Ylönen, the Finnish forward was unable to complete last night's game, having received a clearance from Jayden Struble to the face in the second period. The organization later confirmed that he would not return to the game, potentially explaining the reason for his absence today.
Regarding Sean Monahan, the 29-year-old center did not seem to be bothered by discomfort during the game against the Avalanche. It could be that the CH simply wanted to give him a day off before the sequence of two games in two nights.
