This morning, for the first time since the club’s return to Quebec, the Canadiens practiced in Brossard.

There are a few things to note about all this. But the first is that two forwards were unable to take part, as they were receiving treatment.

We’re talking about Brendan Gallagher and Kirby Dach.

Right now, the Canadiens only have 18 healthy skaters up top, if you count Dach and Gally. After all, yesterday, Joshua Roy and Marc Del Gaizo were traded to the Rocket.

Will Dach and Gallagher be able to play on Saturday? Who knows.

After all, just because the guys aren’t able to skate today doesn’t mean they won’t be able to play on Saturday. It’s too early to say.

However, we still have to wonder, more than ever, if a recall or two isn’t on the table in the short term.

Among the Canadiens’ other announcements, we see that the club has confirmed a tip from colleague Maxime Truman: the Habs have traded David Reinbacher to the Rocket.

He was injured up top during camp, so he wasn’t on the Rocket roster. It’s just a technicality, really.

What this probably means is that the Canadiens consider the defenseman ready to make a comeback. We should see him play soon, then.

And that’s good.

– We like that. #BâtonJaune

– Interesting. Obviously, he didn’t practice.

– Defenders practice their mobility.
