Number 49, who was getting closer and closer to a return to play, was assigned to the CH's farm club, the Laval Rocket, for physical conditioning purposes.
No need to say, this is excellent news regarding his rehabilitation process!
Let's recall that the forward suffered a broken leg earlier this summer, being forced to miss training camp and the start of the season.
However, now that he has officially received the green light from the doctors, RHP will finally have the opportunity to join Pascal Vincent's lineup in order to play his first games of the 2024-2025 campaign.
It will be interesting to see if the Saguenéen will be able to face the Rochester Americans, who will be at Place Bell tomorrow night.
In any case, we are very happy to see that Rafaël Harvey-Pinard can finally make a return to the game, he who has worked very hard in recent weeks to accelerate his return to fitness.
Playing the last year of his contract, the 25-year-old forward will certainly want to show CH general manager Kent Hughes that he deserves a contract extension with the organization this summer.
One thing is for sure, we are all impatient to see him back in the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge uniform soon.
Selected in the 7th round in 2019, RHP accumulated 17 goals and 14 assists (31 points) in 83 games with the Montreal Canadiens. He also recorded 107 points, including 46 goals, in 145 games with the Laval Rocket.
More details to follow.
