A last-minute pleasant surprise for the Montreal Canadiens

Earlier today, we learned that Sean Monahan and Gustav Lindstrom would miss morning training because they have a treatment day.

In Monahan's case, this is quite worrying, given his injury history. Let's hope it's nothing serious.

However, there was one quality return, as Michael Matheson was present. The defender had been absent for a few days and even missed a game at the last minute because of discomfort.

Alex Newhook and Joel Armia are also on the ice, while Christian Dvorak is the only one wearing a non-contact jersey.
