Canadiens’ Ducharme to return for Game 3

-

Canadiens interim coach Dominique Ducharme will have to wait until Game 3 of Stanley Cup Final against the defending champion Lightning to rejoin his team after testing positive for COVID-19.

Remaining symptom-free, Ducharme updated his timetable during a video conference call on Saturday after previously hoping he’d be allowed to complete his two-week mandatory self-quarantine earlier.

The Canadiens open the final series with Games 1 and 2 at Tampa Bay on Monday and Wednesday. Ducharme will return in time for Game 3 on Friday, when the series shifts to Montreal.

“I just can’t wait to come back,” Ducharme said. “I’m not trying to look at the calendar too often. It’s like looking at your watch too often, and it looks like time doesn’t go by.

“I’m trying to be as busy as I can.”
