Awaiting official word, but it’s believed Ducharme has tested positive for CoVid and will be sidelined at least 10 days.

Further testing and work to determine close contacts is taking place as we speak and Ducharme will undergo tests before the game tonight, the Habs said in a statement.
No players have been in COVID-19 protocols since June 5th — a 13-day stretch that has far and away been the longest since the start of the season.
