The Canadiens will be without the services of Brian Gionta for an indefinite period due to a broken bone in his left foot.
We feared the worst in the case of Gionta, who has missed the last two games. The diminutive striker was forced to withdraw before the Habs game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
“It’s very frustrating,” admitted Gionta told reporters. “I am disappointed not to help my teammates. But we have great depth and good young players can elevate their game a notch.”
“Waiting for the start of the season than anyone else stands out,” said head coach Jacques Martin when asked about who will take over in the absence of Gionta.
In 19 games, Gionta has scored eight goals and five assists.
