Mike Hoffman won't be participating in Montreal Canadiens' training camp

It looks like Mike Hoffman will have to wait a bit to hit the ice with his new teammates in Montreal. The Canadiens released an updated injury list this morning and it states the forward, who signed a three-year deal with the Habs over the summer worth $4.5 million AAV, has a lower-body injury and failed his physical.

"Five players failed their respective training camp medicals due to injury, including forwards Paul Byron (hip), Mike Hoffman (lower-body) and Joel Teasdale (knee), defenseman Josh Brook (knee), and goaltender Carey Price (knee)," said the team in a statement.

"All are most likely out for the remainder of camp."

As was previously announced, Byron is out until January with his injury. Price is expected to be there for the start of the regular season on October 13th after having knee surgery during the offseason. There's no word on how Hoffman was injured or exactly how long he'll be out.

"Meanwhile, defenseman Joel Edmundson is listed as day-to-day," said the Canadiens.

"Right-winger Brendan Gallagher is absent for family reasons. He is expected to report to camp in the coming days."
