The Canadiens were in Dallas tonight to take on the Stars.
With a 4-3 win, Montreal finished its seven-game trip with a 3-3-1 record.
Not bad for a rebuilding team.
In the victory, all players performed well. However, Josh Anderson had a tough game. Not that he didn’t play well, but he was injured both seconds.
He left in pain for the bench three times during the game. The third injury got the better of him.
He never returned to the game…

One wonders if his season is over…
In any case, it seems to be serious.
Josh Anderson came off the ice like a guy we won’t see again until September

Remember that the Habs are already playing with one forward down.
No player from Laval has been recalled to compensate for the loss of Christian Dvorak. A player will have to be recalled soon. The team’s next game is the day after tomorrow.
At least that game will be in Montreal.
I smell a double recall from Laval in the next few hours to compensate for the loss of Dvorak and Anderson.
I have a feeling that Emil Heineman will be recalled first. The second will be interesting. Brandon Gignac remains the most deserving…

Will Emil Heineman be back? Is it finally Joshua Roy’s turn?
Will Kent Hughes offer Brandon Gignac a two-part contract?
The latter is certainly the most deserving, but he doesn’t have an NHL contract.
To be continued.

In addition to his late-game injury, he first blocked a shot :

Then, he received Jamie Benn’s stick directly in the face.

A painful game for Anderson, then. Just when he was finally scoring goals…
