(Brossard) Three players were conspicuously absent from Wednesday’s Canadiens practice at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard.
Posted at 11:35 a.m.
Paul Byron, Justin Barron and Nick Suzuki did not skate, being treated instead. Suzuki will, however, make the trip with the team for Thursday’s game against the Devils in New Jersey.
The presence of Byron and Barron in New Jersey is uncertain, however, specified the Montreal organization.
Barron, who scored his first career goal on Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators, appeared to suffer a lower-body injury late in the game following an accidental fall by the forward des Sens Mathieu Joseph.
In addition, Carey Price again skated with his teammates and could participate in the CH trip. However, he should not defend the Habs cage this week.
In addition, defenseman Jeff Petry was still wearing a no-contact navy blue jersey.
