Alex Galchenyuk Canadiens leading scorer out 6-8 w from seestyle's blog

When it comes to major injuries, the Canadiensknow better than most how a single one can send a season spiraling downward. Now they'll need to get by withouttheirmost dynamic offensive player.Alex Galchenyuk,the team's No. 1 center and leading scorer, Ty Montgomery Jersey will mi ssix to eight weeks with a knee injury, the team announced Wednesday.MORE: Galchenyuk was injured Sunday in a collision with Kings forward Anze Kopitar, and his absence will be felt immediately by a slumping offense that has scoredjust 25 goals in thepast 11 Frank Sinkwich Jersey games (2.27 goals per game). The22-year-old leads the Habs in points Zach Kent Jersey (23) and goals (nine).To make matters worse,David Desharnais, who centeredMontreal's top line in Galchenyuk's stead duringTuesday's 3-2 lo s to the St. Louis, also is expected to be out six to eight weeks with Cole Hikutini Jersey a knee injury, leaving the Canadienswith little depth down the middle for the next two months.The Habslead the Eastern Conference with 37 points (17-6-3), but are just4-4-2 in their last 10 games.Galchenyuk's injury in particular will serve as a too-soon reminder of the 2015-16 season, when Montrealsquandered a Micah Potter Jersey hot startand failed to make the playoffsin the absence of franchise goalie Carey Price, who played only 12 games.
