The Montreal Canadiens have confirmed the worst for Rafaël Harvey-Pinard. The Quebecer will be out for an extended period.
Rafaël Harvey-Pinard was injured during practice and will, unfortunately, miss the start of training camp and potentially much more.
The Quebecer sustained a serious leg injury and will be sidelined for at least four months.
Forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard underwent surgery on Thursday following a leg fracture. The expected recovery time for the 25-year-old winger is four months.
This injury comes at the worst possible time for the former LHJMQ player. He needed to secure his spot and prove to Martin St-Louis that he still belongs in the regular lineup.
This might be a great opportunity for Alex Barré-Boulet to start the NHL season with the Canadiens.
