The Montreal Canadiens will not take to the ice at the Brossard Sports Complex this morning, as the head coach decided to change plans.<\/p>\n
The day after the matchup against the Colorado Avalanche, Martin St-Louis opted to cancel the practice session that had been scheduled.<\/p>\n
Journalist Stu Cowan confirmed the news, noting that the decision was expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I expected, no Habs practice in Brossard today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Friday will therefore officially be considered a travel day for the organization. The players and coaching staff are set to head to New York State ahead of their next matchup.<\/p>\n
Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens opt for a travel day to recover before facing the Buffalo Sabres<\/p>\n
This off-ice break will allow the players to recover some energy before getting back into action.<\/p>\n
The Canadiens will take on the Buffalo Sabres Saturday night, in another game that will be extremely important for the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n
Energy management is crucial at this stage of the season, and turning a practice day into a simple travel day is a common approach to maximize rest.<\/p>\n
The team is expected to resume its regular routine with a morning skate in Buffalo tomorrow, on game day.<\/p>\n
Speaking of what has happened in the last few hours with the Montreal Canadiens, let\u2019s recall the great scene involving goaltender Jakub Dobes and head coach Martin St-Louis in the locker room after the win against the Colorado Avalanche (wearing the Quebec Nordiques colors).<\/p>\n
