Habs in sickbay

[dash]

Man, rough game for the Canadiens last night...


Montreal radio station CKAC is reporting that Montreal Canadiens forwards Mike Cammalleri and Max Pacioretty could both miss at least a month of action with injuries sustained on Tuesday night.

The team confirmed after the game against the Buffalo Sabres that Cammalleri suffered a separated shoulder and was initially assessed as being out at least two weeks. The injury was reportedly sustained on a first-period cross-check from Buffalo defenceman Mike Weber.

The report said that Pacioretty broke a rib when he was hit by a shot from teammate James Wisniewski. Pacioretty was taken to hospital but was later able to travel home with the team. RDS is reporting that Pacioretty will miss two-to-four weeks.

The Canadiens also said after the game that forward Jeff Halpern has an upper-body injury. CKAC reported that he has an issue with his shoulder, but they did not report how long he might be out of action.

When I was watching the highlights of this game the phrase "dropping like flies" came to mind.

All those injuries and all they got out of it was a loser point...

The good news is Benoit Pouliot is feeling better and should be back soon!

Yeah, its underwhelming.

That's good news. On NHL on the Fly last night they said he had a broken rib.
