Slafkovsky won't practice; set to undergo tests on UBI
Published
No. 1 overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky won't practice on Monday and is scheduled to have medical tests on his upper-body injury, the Montreal Canadiens announced Monday.
The team announced on Saturday that he was day-to-day with the ailment but did not say specifically what it is or how he incurred it. He missed Montreal's matchup with the Dallas Stars later that evening, an eventual 5-2 defeat.
The 18-year-old has one goal and zero assists in five games so far this season.
Montreal (3-3-0) will be back in action Tuesday night at home as they take on the Minnesota Wild.
