The Montreal Canadiens provided a health update on Alex Galchenyuk, and the news wasn’t great.
He will be evaluated by doctors upon his return to Montreal.
Galchenyuk left yesterday’s afternoon game against the Los Angeles Kings with a lower body injury after a collision with the Kings Anze Kopitar.
Dan Les Coulisses is reporting that Galchenyuk left the Canadiens locker room without the aid of any crutches. They did say that he walked with a major limp as he was barely able to bend his right knee.
Galchenyuk has been one of the Habs best forwards this season with nine goals and 14 assists in 25 games. The most worrisome thing is that there is not really anybody to replace him at centre on the team’s top line.
