The Montreal Canadiens announced that forward Josh Anderson and defenceman Mike Matheson will both miss time with lower-body injuries.
Anderson will be out for 3-to-4 weeks, while Matheson will miss 2-to-3 weeks.
Anderson, 32, played 10:46 in Saturday’s loss to the Colorado Avalanche, recording one shot on goal, two penalty minutes and a minus-2 rating. The veteran forward has eight goals and 12 points in 19 games this season.
Matheson, 32, previously sustained the injury on Oct. 27 and missed just over two weeks before returning to the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins before being held out of Saturday’s game.
Matheson has one goal and four assists in nine games this season, while averaging 23:28 TOI, second-highest on the team.
Earlier this week, the Canadiens announced that forward Chris Kreider was set to be sidelined for six to eight weeks with a lower-body injury.
