Major reinforcement to officially join the Canadiens tonight

Indeed, the 28-year-old center, Christian Dvorak, who missed the last 42 games due to a tear in a major pectoral muscle, will make a return to play against the Philadelphia Flyers. He will play in the fourth unit alongside Rafael Harvey-Pinard and Michael Pezzetta.

This means that number 28 has managed to beat the doctors' timeline, as he was supposed to miss the entire regular season. It will be interesting to see how he fares in his first game in several months.

Acquired for a first-round pick and a second-round pick three years ago, Christian Dvorak has clearly not played up to expectations since joining the organization, amassing only 68 points in 145 games.

Knowing that his contract will end next season, let's strongly hope he comes out fighting hard to prove to Kent Hughes that he deserves a contract extension with the Montreal Canadiens.

This season, Christian Dvorak has accumulated a meager total of 7 points, including 3 goals, in 25 games. Earning an annual salary of 4.45 million dollars, his performance will need to be much better if he wishes to have the opportunity to secure a new contract.

However, it seems that his days within the Montreal organization are numbered and that the 2024-2025 season will be his last in the Blue-White-Red uniform.
