Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky will be sidelined at least one week with an upper-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.
Slafkovsky, 20, skated on his own prior to the Canadiens' morning session. Montreal will host the New York Rangers later on Tuesday.
Slafkovsky initially sustained an apparent shoulder injury during practice last week. He was able to return to game action and notched two assists during the Canadiens' 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Signed to an eight-year, $60.8 million contract extension in July, Slafkovsky has recorded six points (one goal, five assists) in six games this season.
He has totaled 66 points (25 goals, 41 assists) in 127 career games since Montreal selected him with the top overall pick of the 2022 NHL Draft.
