Max Pacioretty is renowned for getting injured often yet recovering with seemingly mutant powers, so it’s not too surprising that his injury update is optimistic.
“Wolverine” is doing well when it comes to his knee injury rehab, as the Montreal Gazette’s Dave Stubbs reports:
#Habs Max Pacioretty tells me today that he's feeling great and is working his butt off in rehab, mending his knee

There wasn’t an update regarding Pacioretty sharpening his adamantium claws, however.
Speaking of bad jokes, he appeared in this amusing comedy club video, although fellow Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher fared a little better:
Then again, Gallagher has more experience yapping, so you’d expect him to boast superior comic delivery, right?
Jonathan Quick turned some heads with his effusive praise of Pacioretty, 26, yet the American winger needs to heal up to show how underrated he really is. We’ll still need to wait and see if he’s ready for the start of the 2015-16 season (the prognosis was a three-month recovery back in June), but the early outlook seems promising.
Canadiens' Max Pacioretty will have another scan taken on his knee once rehab increases and talks with team docs. His rehab is on schedule.
