The Montreal Canadiens currently rank 26th in the NHL with a record of 24-29-4 for a total of 52 points in 57 games.
The troupe of Martin St.Louis caused a nice surprise in his last game with a 5:2 win against the Devils.
Unfortunately the attacker Joel Armia could not finish the game due to injury.
The casualty list at the Habs continues to grow and the situation only gets worse as the weeks go by.
Here is the list of players currently in the infirmary: Chris Weitman, Juraj Slafkowski, Joel Edmundson, Sean Monahan, Kirby Dash, Joel Armia, Paul Byron, Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj, Cole Kaufield, Carey Prize, Jake Evans And Brendan Gallagher.
In addition, the situation of Dach remains very fascinating.
In a recent article Richard Labbe from The press is surprised when the Canadian sits at the top of the NHL in terms of the number of injuries for two years.
The club ended last year at the top of this sad column and, if the trend continues, will be back at the top in 2022-23.
Through his writings, the journalist mentions a very interesting point in particular:
“The Montreal club is starting to get used to it. Last season, Lost NHL players in blue, white and red missed a total of 731 games through injury, according to Man-Games. Far behind, the second club ended up among those most affected by the infirmary: The Arizona Coyotes players had to miss a total of 627 games.
In modern times, it was previously the 2003-2004 Los Angeles Kings who missed the most games due to ill health, with 629. So it’s another record that the Canadian proudly broke.
At this rate, the Canadiens could be the most “injured” club in the NHL for the second straight season. Earlier this week, Martin St-Louis admitted management may have to grapple with that reality.
