We have some interesting developments live from the Montreal Canadiens practice in Brossard.

First, please note that defenseman Mike Matheson has indeed been granted a practice leave, as he is taking a treatment day.

Let’s recall that he briefly left Saturday night’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights and had to retreat to the locker room, but he was ultimately able to finish the game.

It seems he is dealing with something, but it is not too concerning at the moment.

See the official statement.

The Canadiens will hold a press conference immediately after the morning practice

Following the conclusion of today’s session, the Canadiens will indeed hold a press conference, notably with head coach Martin St-Louis, and it will definitely be worth keeping an eye on.

We’re likely to get updates on Mike Matheson and learn more about the organization’s intentions, particularly regarding Josh Roy, who has been recalled earlier today.

We’ll keep you quickly updated on every development.

Mike Matheson, 30 years old, is a 6-foot-2, 196-pound left-shot defenseman from Quebec.

The 23rd overall pick by the Florida Panthers in 2012 (first round) has tallied 13 points in 20 games so far this season with the Canadiens.

Last year, he recorded 62 points in 82 games.

Details will follow, but he is undoubtedly a key part of Martin St-Louis’ defensive corps.
