Montreal Canadiens Christian Dvorak will make his season debut against the St. Louis Blues, coach Martin St. Louis confirmed on Saturday.
Dvorak was injured during a game on March 7 and underwent season-ending surgery days later, and hasn't played since.
The Canadiens sent defenceman Gustav Lindström down to the AHL to make room for Dvorak.
The 27-year-old Dvorak recorded 10 goals and 18 assists in 64 games last season.
Montreal acquired Dvorak from the Arizona Coyotes in September 2021 for a first-round pick in 2022 and a second-round draft pick in 2024. He has 207 points (88 goals and 119 assists) in 422 games over seven seasons with the Coyotes and Canadiens.
