Defenceman Joel Edmundson is skating at today's practice wearing a regular jersey for the first time this season.
The 28-year-old has yet to play this season due to a back injury. In 55 games last season, his first with the Habs, Edmundson had three goals and 13 points as Montreal went to the Stanley Cups Finals for the first time since 1993.
