MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens are down another body after forward Christian Dvorak underwent season-ending knee surgery Wednesday. 

Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes said in a statement that the procedure was performed in New York and Dvorak is expected to make a full recovery before the start of next season. 

The 27-year-old hasn’t played since Montreal’s 4-3 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on March 7. 

Dvorak put up 10 goals and 18 assists in 64 games for the Habs this season.
