Before the game against the Calgary Flames, the Montreal Canadiens announced that Martin St-Louis would be absent for an indefinite period due to family reasons.
During an interview in the first intermission, defenseman David Savard inadvertently revealed the reason for the coach's absence, and the reason is worse than we thought.
"Learning about Martin's family situation is not easy. I liked how the guys reacted. We're going to try to get a win for his son." - David Savard
Through the words of the Quebec defenseman, we thus learned that Martin has taken time off due to a serious situation involving one of his sons.
