The Montreal Canadiens have just announced sad news: long-term absence for Canadiens' forward Tanner Pearson

In the last few seconds, and after the match against the Nashville Predators, the Montreal Canadiens announced some very bad news.

See the official announcement.

So, we should expect a possible call-up from the Laval Rocket. Will this be the moment for Joshua Roy? To be continued.

It's a shame for Pearson, because it's a recurring injury and it's certainly a concern for him.

We look forward to seeing him back in February or at the end of January.

Pearson, 31 years old, is a first-round pick of the Kings in 2012. He has accumulated 8 points in 27 games this season and is an extraordinary teammate. He was acquired in the Casey DeSmith trade with the Vancouver Canucks.

Further details will follow.
