There was some encouraging news from practice today, as Brendan Gallagher, Daniel Carr, and Brian Flynn skated in full equipment. They were, however, skating alongside the athletic therapist, which indicates that they may not be ready to return just yet.

As for P.K. Subban and David Desharnais, they also returned to the fold, but they were wearing a non-contact jersey throughout practice.

As it stands, the Habs have a 0.001% chance to make the playoffs, so the returning players won’t help much in that regard. Although it will probably make Canadiens games more tolerable to watch in the near future.
Here are the most forward lines at practice:
