PWHL Montreal captain Marie-Philip Poulin was absent from the team's practice on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at the Verdun Auditorium. Her status for the club's upcoming game on Thursday is now uncertain.
Poulin left Montreal's previous game against Boston on Saturday, March 14, after an apparent lower-body injury. She did not return to the 4-3 overtime victory at Place Bell.
Head coach Kori Cheverie stated that Poulin is considered day-to-day. The team is taking a cautious approach with the star forward's recovery. An official update on her availability for Thursday's home game against Ottawa is expected Wednesday.
Poulin is a central figure for Montreal, serving as captain and a leading scorer. Her potential absence would be a significant loss for the team as they continue their playoff push in the Professional Women's Hockey League standings.
