At 5 p.m. on Monday, all 32 teams have to submit their rosters to the National Hockey League for approval ahead of the 2022-23 season, which begins on Tuesday evening.
Several teams around the league are dealing with injury issues as they head into the new campaign, but the Montreal Canadiens have quite a few players that have caught the injury bug since the start of training camp.
On Monday morning, the Canadiens shared injury updates on the following players:
Joel Edmundson: Skated on Monday morning, rehab is progressing, but no timetable for his return.
Joel Armia: Out one-to-two weeks with an upper-body injury.
Emil Heineman: Out six weeks with a thumb injury.
Mike Matheson: Listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Nick Suzuki, Mike Hoffman, Christian Dvorak: All returned to practice on Monday from their respective injuries.
The Canadiens will open up the season at home on Wednesday night against their long-time rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.
