Concerns arise for the Canadiens when a player is possibly injured. The numerous injuries, some more significant than others in recent years, have created a sense of apprehension.
Certainly, it's not reassuring to learn that one of the team's standout players is absent for treatments, especially as this has happened several times recently.
This doesn't necessarily mean he will be absent for Tuesday's game, but it indicates that he is not at 100%. We have seen this often this year, with him, Sean Monahan, Cole Caufield, and Nick Suzuki. However, they have all played in every game.
