What are the Canadiens’ options for potentially replacing Max Domi in qualifiers?

As more and more of the Montreal Canadiens pile back into Montreal for the NHL’s return to play, there are a few pleasant surprises with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Alex Belzile being healthy enough to resume practice after what were season-ending injuries. However, as of right now, one big name is currently missing from the optional practices. Max Domi. This isn’t through any fault of his own, as being a Type-1 Diabetic, Domi is at a much higher risk of serious complications related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While there is a higher chance in people who do not manage their diabetes well, the risk for someone like Domi is still high and could easily leave him in poor health if he were to contract the virus.
