Kovalev out 3-4 weeks
NHL - Alexei Kovalev is slated to miss 3 to 4 weeks with a knee surgery. He has been playing through some pain but it was getting worse each game. The team surgeon, Doctor Mulder, has stated that the knee has no ligament damage and will heal up fine. Kovalev has tried various other ways of healing the knee to no avail.
He has been second in team scoring with 19 points (7 goals and 12 assists) in 18 games. This loss comes as a blow to a team who lacks depth up front, considering they are already fielding 3 rookies on a nightly basis. Montreal's next game is tomorrow night at home against the Florida Panthers.
