It's always a sad story when players or coaches have to miss some time to deal with personal things, and it was especially worrying for Canadiens fans when it was revealed that Martin St-Louis was missing time due to personal reasons potentially related to his son, Lucas. While there were no details shared, a new update has given fans a sigh of relief.
