David Reinbacher’s knee was not injured, but he will miss four weeks of activity due to a fractured metacarpal bone. However, the defenseman will miss four weeks of activity due to a broken metacarpal bone. It’s in the hand, that.

So, once again, the defenseman will miss the start of the Laval Rocket’s season. It’s not exactly ideal for his development, but at least it’s not his knee. And in a month’s time, there will only be seven games played in Laval.All indications are that it was in the third period yesterday, during the game against the Maple Leafs (them again…), that Reinbacher was injured. After all, he played in the third period and didn’t finish the game. Did he injure himself on that sequence?

This means that Adam Engstrom becomes the first option in the event of a recall of a youngster to Laval at the start of the season. Is the Austrian starting to worry you in terms of his general state of health? The question arises, even if we’re not talking about a recurring injury situation this morning for the right-handed defender. Reinbacher was the most worrying case among Noah Dobson and Kaiden Guhle. So, it’s safe to assume that both Habs defensemen will be back soon… To be seen. [spacer title=’Overtime’]- CF Montreal fans,
