With head coach Dominique Ducharme not expected back behind the bench until game three of the Stanley Cup Final after testing positive for COVID-19, there's word this morning a Montreal Canadiens has been placed in protocol. Habs GM Marc Bergevin spoke to media Sunday Morning and explained why Joel Armia is not on the ice for practice.
-
He did not elaborate but we're left to assume this was a positive test for Armia and they are waiting to test him again to see if it might be a false positive. It has been announced that Armia will not travel with the team to Florida for game one.
-
Armia has five goals and three assists in 17 games so far in the 2021 playoffs and has played a big part in helping to shut down opponent's top scorers. This would be a big loss for Montreal going forward if he is forced to miss games.
