After a scary incident in Montreal’s season-opening loss to Toronto, George Parros is getting better.

On Wednesday, Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin told the Montreal Gazette that Parros -- concussed after falling to the ice in a fight with Colton Orr -- is “almost symptom-free.”

The Gazette also reports Montreal is in no hurry to get its moustachioed enforcer back into action, citing the delicate nature of concussion recovery.

Parros, 33, was hurt during this tangle on Oct. 1:

Parros was hospitalized following the fall and suffered no fractures, later released after his CT scan came back negative.
