Last-minute announcement from the Canadiens organization on injury

The 28-year-old center is about to make a return to play, currently working very hard to defy the doctors' predictions, even if his season was supposed to be over according to the initial announcement by the organization. See the initial announcement by the organization.

Dvorak was on the ice with his team, wearing a regular jersey, which means he can finally take hits. This is normally the very last step before officially getting the green light to return to action.

It will be interesting to see how he performs if he were to return in the coming days. He has been limited to seven points in 25 games this year, and 28 points in 64 games last year.

As he officially starts the last year of his $4.45M deal next year, Dvorak has a lot to prove if he wishes to land a significant contract in the summer of 2025, when he reaches full free agency.

One thing is certain, he is not part of Kent Hughes's long-term plan, and it's a safe bet that if he has a good campaign next year, the General Manager of the Canadiens might take the opportunity to get something in return for his services.
