Los Angeles | Will Joel Edmundson play the Canadians last game of the trade deadline? Again, we didn’t get an answer in morning practice before the Los Angeles Kings game.
The veteran defender took part in Habs training this morning. He took replays with several teammates on defense. He seemed comfortable with his movements.

A few minutes before jumping onto the ice, he did some off-ice exercises with the Canadians’ fitness trainer.
A final decision will be made minutes before the game. He was therefore not available for talks with the media.
Meanwhile, Edmundson’s name continued to circulate in NHL trade rumors. The Tampa Bay Lightning had held talks with the Canadian.
Of course, before closing a trade, the Lightning need to attach several aspects, including their place under the salary cap.
