Emil Heineman was injured after being hit by a car in Salt Lake City on Monday.
The forward was unable to play in yesterday’s game, and the Canadian team announced a recovery period of 3 to 4 weeks in his case.
However, he was spotted in Brossard today, wearing a cast on his right wrist.
The information was reported by Renaud Lavoie on the JiC show on TVA Sports.
Heineman is back in Montreal and he was in Brossard today to attend David Reinbacher’s (solo) training session.

In the images shared by TVA Sports, it can be seen that the forward has not lost his smile.
He was lucky in his misfortune because he could have been injured even more seriously… And clearly, he is aware of it because he maintains a positive attitude.
Good for him.
Let’s also note that the player wanted to thank the people who have sent him love and support throughout this.
He wants to come back even stronger:

We don’t know exactly when he will be able to lace up his skates again and we don’t yet know the exact nature of his injury.
But seeing that he is in good shape and really seems to be doing well is all that matters right now.
Because still… It could have been worse!
Extension
I can’t wait to see when he returns if he will be able to keep up the pace.
Let’s not forget, after all, that the forward was (before getting injured) the 3rd most productive player among rookies in the NHL since December 6.
He was on a great streak.
