Pair of injured Canadiens to travel with team on upcoming road trip

Following Tuesday's game against the Wild, the Canadiens will embark on a four-game road trip which features stops in Buffalo, St. Louis, Minnesota and Winnipeg.

According to Sportsnet's Eric Engels, a pair of injured Canadiens will accompany the team on the road trip, those players being forward Joel Armia and defenceman Joel Edmundson.

Both Armia and Edmundson re-joined their teammates at practice in recent days, albeit in non-contact uniforms as they continue to progress from their respective injuries.

Armia, 29, suffered an upper-body injury during the pre-season and has yet to feature in any games this season. In 60 games last year, he put up 14 points (six goals, eight assists), 14 penalty minutes and was a minus-15.

Edmundson, 29, has been out since the start of training came with a lower-body injury he sustained during a collision with Nick Suzuki during an informal skate. The Brandon (Manitoba) native was limited to only 24 games last season due to a back injury. He recorded six points (three goals, three assists), 35 penalty minutes and was a minus-one in those 24 games.

Tonight, the Canadiens will take on a Minnesota Wild team that has struggled out of the gate, sporting a 1-3-1 record through five games. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET.
