In the last few minutes, a rather frightening scene occurred live from the CN Sports Complex in Brossard. Indeed, Quebecois forward Brandon Gignac had to leave the Montreal Canadiens' practice after being hit in the face by a puck.
Since his call-up to the major league, the Repentigny native has scored one goal in six games. He has performed notably well in the American League, having recorded 14 goals and 28 assists (42 points) in 43 games with the Laval Rocket.
Renaud Lavoie has just confirmed excellent news regarding Brandon Gignac. Indeed, after spending a few minutes with the team's doctors, he was able to return to the ice to participate in the final drills of the practice.
