Desharnais and Diaz are on the ice with their teammates.
Even though Desharnais is not expected to play tonight, returning to practice is a great sign. The diminutive pivot has 14 goals and 52 points in 68 games this season. No word on how much longer he's out.
With #canadiens David Desharnais that should be out vs #canucks
Tough break for the Habs as they lose their top line center. The diminutive pivot has 14 goals and 52 points in 68 games this season. No word on how long he misses.
But David Desharnais, who centred Brian Gionta and Max Pacioretty against Buffalo on Wednesday night, sustained a lower-body injury and is out of the lineup.
Following a successful AHL career which included 45 points in only 35 games last season, the undrafted pivot seems like a NHL player. The 27-year-old scored eight goals and 22 points over his first 43 games. He could have value in deeper leagues.
MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier announced Monday evening the signing of forward David Desharnais to a two-year contract (2011-12 and 2012-13). As per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
