Ivan Demidov misses second practice due to injury
Ivan Demidov has missed two consecutive training sessions with the Montreal Canadiens while receiving treatment for an injury. The prospect sustained the injury after blocking a shot with his right foot during a preseason game against the Ottawa Senators in Trois-Rivières.
Despite the absence, the Canadiens organization has expressed no major concerns, noting that the player is undergoing therapy to manage a bruise. Demidov is expected to return to on-ice activities on Friday and may be available for the team's game on Saturday.
In a separate development during Thursday's practice, head coach Martin St. Louis halted the session to discipline the roster. St. Louis implemented a skating punishment after expressing frustration with the team's lack of intensity and execution during the drill.
