It’s been a little bit that we didn’t see David Reinbacher playing a match with the Rocket.
And at this level, Kent Hughes gave an update about his defender during his press conference, earlier today.
Basically, what you need to know is that there is nothing structural about his injury. The organization of the Canadian relies on caution because Reinbacher is young and because he is one of the good hopes of the organization. CH does not want to see him injure himself again.
But even if the organization is cautious, we also agree that Reinbacher must play if he wants to progress.
It’s logical: he will not improve while watching the gateway matches.
And even if Kent Hughes did not want to confirm it 100 %, we can expect the defender to return to the game on Wednesday.
Reinbacher has not played for more than three weeks, since March 21.
It’s flat to have seen him miss so much time because Reinbacher played really well before injuring himself.
Pascal Vincent said he was very impressed by the yield of the young defender, who collected four points (two goals) in eight games, and he said he loved his overall game on the ice.
That said, it is also for this reason that I can’t wait to see him come back to the game.
-There may be a certain adaptation period because it will have failed almost a month if it comes back Wednesday … and I mainly wonder at what level it will be on the ice.
But what can help him is the fact that Ivan Demidov will make his debut with the Canadian this week.
CH’s hope will play this evening and Wednesday: it takes pressure on the shoulders of Reinbacher because all the eyes will be riveted towards the Russian, which is constantly talking about him since his arrival in Canada last week.
Just knowing that Reinbacher could play Wednesday, however, is a nice news. And so much the better if he is able to regain his rhythm quickly.
Prolongation
Note that there are only three games in the regular season of the Rocket.
The Canadiens’ school club will play on Wednesday and Friday at home against the Senators in Belleville… and will then go on Saturday to go and play in Belleville.
There will therefore be two games in as many days at the end of the week, on Friday and Saturday.
If Reinbacher is able to play two of these three games, it will be encouraging for the future. Because it is also necessary to recall this: the Rocket has the elements to go a long way in the playoff series.
He will face either the Marlies (Toronto) or the Monsters (Cleveland) during the first round if the classification does not move. Syracuse and Belleville are also possibilities.
A healthy David Reinbacher, it could help even more … and it would also allow the kid To play important games in series for its progress.
