The Montreal Canadiens announced after Sunday's 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues that forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard will be out for four to six weeks with a lower leg injury.
The Quebecer was injured on Saturday during the duel against the Dallas Stars after contact with his teammate Joel Armia. Joshua Roy was then recalled from the Laval Rocket to compensate for Harvey-Pinard's absence.
