A mysterious goalie found himself at the Montreal Canadiens' training
It's a strange week for the Montreal Canadiens, who benefit from a four-day break, a rare situation in the demanding NHL schedule.
Martin St. Louis took advantage of these days without a match to organize intensive training in Brossard, allowing him to work on certain aspects of the game which are not yet optimal for the Habs.
We notably observed drills targeting zone exits under pressure, while Cayden Primeau focused on deflected shots on the second ice of the CN Sports Complex.
This break is also beneficial for injured players, like Patrik Laine, who once again put on skates with the team, although he still wore a non-contact jersey.
According to journalist Anthony Martineau, the Finn spent more time on the ice than yesterday, which is an encouraging sign regarding his potential return.
At this rate, it is not impossible that Laine will return to regular training at the start of next week, a crucial step before getting the green light.

This mysterious guest took his place in front of the net, allowing Primeau to concentrate on specific exercises of his own.
As evidenced by a sequence shared online, Laine took advantage of the opportunity to unleash an unstoppable shot against this goalkeeper.
Martin St. Louis' men hope to maintain their positive momentum despite this long break, having won three of their last four matches.
