Canadiens GM Provides Ivan Demidov Update Before Maple Leafs Game
Montreal Canadiens star forward Ivan Demidov has not played for the team since their Oct. 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins due to a fractured right ankle.
Now, Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes has provided an update on Demidov.
While speaking with Sportsnet's Eric Engels, Hughes shared that while Demidov has been out longer than his previously expected two-to-four-week timeline, he has not suffered any setbacks with his recovery.
In addition, Hughes shared with Engels that the team believes Demidov will not miss much more time and is making progress, but also that the team is unable to give a definite timeline for the young star's return right now.
