In the last few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens made a somewhat concerning announcement regarding Slovak forward Juraj Slafkovsky.
Despite the team having a day off on Sunday, the first overall pick in 2022 will have to miss today's practice to receive treatment from the medical staff.
"Forward Juraj Slafkovsky will not participate in today's practice (treatment day)." - Montreal Canadiens
It appears that the CH's number 20 is currently dealing with a minor discomfort. Let's hope it's nothing serious and that he will be able to play against the Nashville Predators tomorrow night.
After a rollercoaster rookie season last year, Juraj Slafkovsky has seen a significant improvement in recent weeks. Indeed, the 6'3", 230-pound giant has scored 9 goals and added 7 assists (16 points) in his last 19 games, establishing himself as a perfect complement to the duo of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
Certainly, this will be a situation to monitor closely over the coming days!
