Martin St-Louis could get reinforcements sooner than expected

Last year, the Canadiens' injury situation was crazy. The team broke an NHL record for missed games, which isn't very impressive.

As players prepare for the upcoming campaign, most of those who missed late in the season are back on skates. However, this is not the case for Christian Dvorak, who was due to undergo knee surgery.

The operation was expected to cause him to miss training camp and part of the season, but his rehabilitation seems to be going much faster than expected. A video of him in training shows this quite clearly.

This would come as a surprise to Martin St-Louis, who could have some unexpected reinforcements at the start of the upcoming campaign.
