Canadiens lose Galchenyuk (again) to knee injury just as others approach a return
BROSSARD, Que. — Just as some injured Montreal Canadiens were nearing a return, centre Alex Galchenyuk has gone back to the infirmary.
While coach Michel Therrien said the latest injury to Galchenyuk’s right knee does not appear to be serious and that his condition is listed as day to day, he missed practice on Monday and won’t play against the visiting Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
Galchenyuk took a hit in the second period of a 3-2 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night but was able to stay in the game. The night before, he had three points in a 3-1 victory in New Jersey and looked to be back on form after missing 18 games from Dec. 6 to Jan. 14.
Now he has re-injured the same knee.
