Last week it was reported that Emil Heineman was hit by a car in Utah. The Canadian then announced an absence of three to four weeks for his player.
And obviously, the timetable seems to still be relevant.
According to what Renaud Lavoie reported yesterday to TVA Sports, we can expect to see Heineman again in the Canadian uniform within two weeks. In any case, that’s what the journalist expects in the file.
This fits with the three to four weeks that the CH announced last week.
It should be noted that yesterday, after his team’s training, Heineman skated solo for around ten minutes. Since he has an upper body injury, he can still skate slightly.
The fact of not being injured in the lower body means that the player can continue to work on his cardio and that his absence, in this sense, could be a bit shorter than if he could not skate lightly this week .
That’s good for the player.
In terms of calendar, in two weeks, the CH will finish its trip to the West. Will Heineman be able to make the trip to California? You might think not… but who knows?
I imagine the CH would like to see him play during Super Bowl weekend (against the Devils and Lightning) so that he can judge the rookie’s medical progress before the Four Nations Showdown.
-If Heineman can indeed return to the corner on February 8, it will mean that Martin St-Louis will have to make do without him for another seven games. This evening, Michael Pezzetta is in line to take the place of Owen Beck, sent back to the AHL.
Will another recall take place in the short term to replace Heineman? To see in due time.
