A one-month-old baby is recovering in a Montreal hospital after being hit in the head with a puck at the Canadiens' practice at the Bell Centre on Sunday.

The incident happened when the players were tossing pucks to their fans after the annual event.

“At the end, the players took the time to throw pucks at their young fans,” wrote the baby's mother Valerie Meloche on Facebook. "Unfortunately, one of the fans who caught a puck thrown by P.K. Subban was just a month old - and she caught it with her head."

According to The Montreal Gazette, the baby was taken to the Montreal Children's Hospital, where she is being monitored for a concussion but is expected to make a full recovery. 

Meloche wrote on Facebook that she doesn’t think Subban realized what happened, but she doesn’t blame him.

The Canadiens say they are aware of the incident and are looking to reach out and make amends.
