We have news regarding two injured Montreal Canadiens players.
“Noah Dobson feels extremely well and should play Saturday.”
– Anthony Martineau
We can therefore already confirm that Dobson will indeed be in the lineup to start the 2025-2026 season for the Montreal Canadiens, which is obviously fantastic news.
Following the dangerous slash delivered by Nick Cousins last night in Quebec..
It therefore looks like Demidov could also (technically) return to play as soon as this Saturday, but the Canadiens will likely rest him until the first game of the season, for obvious reasons and to keep him away from the Ottawa Senators for the moment.
“The expectation is that Ivan Demidov doesn’t have a serious injury, but the Habs will play it with caution.
Not likely to play Saturday and give his wrist time to heal in time for next week’s season opener against Toronto.
If he does play Saturday, then it’s gravy.”
– Marco D’Amico
So he will be in the lineup for the season opener next week against Toronto, barring a huge surprise.
“Even though Ivan Demidov did not finish the game yesterday after the nasty (or stupid, or useless) slash from Nick Cousins, everything indicates that it was more fear than harm.
The young forward should not miss any games and could possibly even participate in practice tomorrow in Quebec.”
– Luc Gélinas, RDS
So both will be back in action very soon! Very good news!
