The Carolina Hurricanes have just announced some major news:

Former Habs Captain Max Pacioretty is expected to miss 6 month with a torn achilles!

This is obviously terrible news for the 33-year-old forward and for the Hurricanes. Pacioretty had 37 points in 39 games (19 goals) last season with the Vegas Golden Knights.
