Kovalev Surgery Successful
Stardate 4875.8
Montreal - Alex Kovalev took his first step towards returning to the Canadiens' lineup this morning. He just finished a successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee to fix a nagging problem that was only getting worse as the season progressed.
Team doctor, David Mulder, gives Kovalev 4 - 8 weeks before he'll be back in action. We can look for him in the New Year is my guess.
Montreal has called up young Maxim Lapierre from the Hamilton Bulldogs. The 20 year old center has played in only 15 games there in his rookie season. Lapierre joins Chris Higgins, Tomas Plekanec, Alexander Perezhogin and Yann Danis in the freshman club playing this year.
