Sami Niku sustained a concussion in a preseason game against the Ottawa Senators on Friday and is out indefinitely.
The defenseman was injured when he was checked from behind by Senators forward Josh Norris during the first period of the Canadiens' 7-2 loss. Niku, who also sustained a facial cut, did not return to the game after the hit.
"He'll be out a little while," Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme said Saturday.
Niku signed a one-year contract with Montreal on Sept. 24 after having the second season of his two-year contract with the Winnipeg Jets mutually terminated.
The Canadiens host the Senators in a preseason game on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; TSN5, RDS). They open the regular season at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 13.
