Montreal Canadiens forward Sean Monahan will not play in Tuesday’s game against the Seattle Kraken due to a lower-body injury, the team announced.
The Canadiens say Monahan will be re-evaluated once the team returns to Montreal from its road trip.
Monahan left Monday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks in the second period and did not return. The 28-year-old has been wearing a plastic boat cast throughout the Canadiens’ road trip, which ends Tuesday.
Before leaving Monday’s game, Monahan scored his sixth goal of the season as part of a four-goal first period for the Canadiens. However, the Canucks rallied back in dramatic fashion to win the game 7-6 in overtime.
