Ivan Demidov Skates Individually as Foot Injury Recovery Progresses

Montreal Canadiens forward Ivan Demidov (foot) skated individually Tuesday and could resume practicing with teammates as early as next week. Demidov has missed 13 consecutive games and remains in a walking boot as Montreal brings him along slowly. It stays unclear when he will be ready to return to game action. Prior to the injury, Demidov recorded one goal, two points, four shots on net, and three hits across two appearances this season.
