Something is happening today, live from Brossard, involving the Montreal Canadiens.
The big news on the ice is Josh Anderson. He was present in full equipment, wearing a regular jersey.
In Canadiens language, that raises eyebrows, because it’s often the final step before a return to play, or at the very least a status that’s getting close.

That doesn’t mean he’ll play in the next game. A player can skate and still be evaluated. But when Anderson is there, in the right spot, wearing the right jersey, you quickly understand that the situation is moving forward.
And it automatically changes the discussion around the lineup, especially when the team wants to regain its rhythm.
Josh Anderson back on the ice and a curious scene involving Jakub Dobes
On the other side, there’s Jakub Dobes. This morning, Éric Raymond worked with him one-on-one. That can mean a lot of things. A goalie doing targeted work often happens after a game, or after a stretch that left its mark.
However, in Dobes’ case, he hasn’t played in quite some time. Obviously, Montreal is a place where everything turns into a rumor.
Does this open the door to a possible assignment to Laval? Maybe, if the Canadiens need to make a move to manage their goaltenders or their roster.
But a solo session alone doesn’t confirm anything. What matters is the full picture, and the tone Martin St-Louis will take when he answers questions.
Everything points to important announcements eventually coming from the Canadiens. We’re monitoring the situation for you in the next few minutes.
