The Montreal Canadiens had two injuries very early in the season. They weren’t players projected to be on the main roster, but there was a lot of optimism around them as they were preparing to make their professional debut in the AHL. Noah Juulsen broke his foot in the first preseason game for the Habs and was out for six weeks while Jeremiah Addison suffered from shoulder surgery before training camp even began.
Many believed at first that the 21-year-old injured himself at the Rookie Tournament in Toronto, but he played in the final game against the Ottawa Senators.
