Over the last few days, the health status of Juraj Slafkovsky has raised numerous concerns among fans. Indeed, the forward was seen limping on a few occasions, having not participated in the last five practices of the Montreal Canadiens.
Clearly, the first overall pick in the 2022 draft is currently troubled by an injury, and some are wondering if Martin St-Louis should not give him a few games off to ensure he does not worsen his condition.
However, despite the fact that there are no real stakes left in the regular season, the Tricolore insists on playing the Slovak forward, putting his physical condition at risk. Moreover, in the last few hours, the head coach of the Tricolore has officially confirmed that Slafkovsky will be playing alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield in the upcoming match against the Blue Jackets.
Obviously, we are very happy to see that number 20 is able to play, but we are still worried that he might worsen his situation.
At 19 years old, the left winger has had a frankly interesting progression this year, claiming 13 goals and 20 assists (33 points) in 64 games.
