Injury woes continue for the Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Monday morning that forward Tyler Toffoli will not practice today due to an upper-body injury and will be evaluated in the coming days. Toffoli will more than likely miss tomorrow's Stanley Cup Final rematch against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

In a corresponding move, the Canadiens called forward Laurent Dauphin back up from the Laval Rocket. He was originally called up Thursday night following an injury to Josh Anderson, but was sent back to Laval on Saturday after it was confirmed that Mike Hoffman was ready to return.

The team also announced that Jeff Petry and Joel Armia are both having therapy days, and will not practice.

With Toffoli now out with injury, it adds to the growing list of Canadiens players out of the lineup for various reasons. That list includes, Carey Price, Paul Byron, Joel Edmundson, Jeff Petry, Josh Anderson, Brendan Gallagher, and Sami Niku.

In twenty-six games this season, Toffoli has seventeen points (five goals, twelve assists), four penalty minutes, and is a minus-four.

Updates: Jeff Petry (therapy day), Joel Armia (therapy day) and Tyler Toffoli (upper-body injury) won't practice this morning.

Toffoli will undergo further evaluation in the coming days. Laurent Dauphin was recalled from Laval (AHL).— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) December 6, 2021
