Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Fully healthy following sports hernia surgery

Petry should be ready for training camp after saying he is "fully recovered" from sports hernia surgery, Sean Farrell of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Petry missed the tail-end of the 2015-16 campaign after sustaining a lower body injury that eventually resulted in him undergoing a sports hernia surgery on Mar. 9. Six months removed from going under the knife, the 28-year-old defenseman is back to full strength and should be a full participant in training camp. A mobile skater with a cannon of a shot, the former second-round pick is currently holding down a third line spot on defense and is looking to bounce back from a 2015-16 campaign in which he only played in 51 games.
