Canadiens' Andrei Markov: Will travel to Russia for personal reasons
Markov will head to Russia next week to bring his twin sons to Montreal following the tragic passing of their mother in December, the Montreal Gazette reports.

Markov's ex-partner reportedly passed away from ovarian cancer shortly before Christmas. The veteran defenseman plans to travel to his home country once the Habs start their bye following this Sunday's road game against the Bruins.
