(St. Louis) Evgenii Dadonov missed practice with the Canadiens on Monday due to treatment, the team said. His absence was unexpected, especially since he did not play Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Blues. He had been left out, along with Jonathan Drouin and Rem Pitlick, in favor of Joel Armia, Juraj Slafkovsky and Michael Pezzetta.

When RDS journalist Luc Gélinas asked Martin St-Louis if it was really about treatment, the Canadian coach replied: “Yes, that’s what I was told. »
Otherwise, St. Louis hasn’t exposed its lines for Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Wild.
Dadonov, 33, was acquired this summer for Shea Weber’s contract. Since arriving in Montreal, he has scored zero points in eight games.
