Canadiens Coach Martin St-Louis Returns After Family Leave

St-Louis rejoins Montreal Canadiens for the game against Colorado Avalanche, following a leave of absence to support his injured son.

Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St-Louis has returned to the team and will be behind the bench for the game against the Colorado Avalanche after taking a leave of absence to be with his family.
St-Louis left the team to support his 16-year-old son, Mason, who was hospitalized following complications from a youth hockey injury but is now recovering at home.
The Canadiens went 1-2-1 during St-Louis' absence, with Assistant Coach Trevor Letowski stepping in as interim head coach.
St-Louis, a Hart Trophy and Stanley Cup winner, was named full-time head coach of the Canadiens in June 2022 after serving as interim coach.
The Canadiens currently hold the sixth-worst record in the NHL, with a .457 points percentage through 70 games.
