A serious injury has just been announced within the Montreal Canadiens organization and it's very bad news for the Rocket
We were talking about it the day before yesterday, the news was not good regarding possibly the best forward of the Laval Rocket, Lias Andersson.
He, who would most likely have been recalled by the CH, has just suffered a serious injury and the final verdict has officially been announced.
About two months of absence. Ouch.
The former first-round pick of the New York Rangers, 7th overall, will ultimately miss 6 to 8 weeks of activity. (lower body)
This is obviously a very heavy loss for the organization and for the Rocket.
It would have been interesting to see how far his momentum could have taken him.
Maybe with the CH? In short, everything has to be put on hold for now.
Andersson accumulated seven goals and two assists, in ten games. Solid!
"Forward Lias Andersson (lower body injury) will be sidelined for a period of 6 to 8 weeks." - Rocket de Laval
In fact, three other players got injured for the Rocket. We're talking about Riley McKay, Mitchell Stephens, and Philippe Maillet.
Case to follow.
