Emil Heineman is out 3-4 weeks because of an upper-body injury sustained Monday in a traffic accident as a pedestrian.
"I just know that he got hurt crossing the street yesterday," coach Martin St. Louis said before Montreal (20-18-4) visited the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday (9 p.m. ET; Utah16, TSN2, RDS). "I don't think it was at a high speed, but enough to cause some damage. So, it's unfortunate."
The 23-year-old rookie forward has 17 points (10 goals, seven assists) in 41 games this season.
"We reached out just to make sure he's been OK," forward Jake Evans said. "It's a tough accident, I guess, and a freak accident, tough luck. [But] it seems like he's in good spirits, and I guess, you know, it could have been a lot worse too.
"You're obviously just worried about his health. Again, it could have been worse, so just stuff you don't expect to happen, especially, you know, it's pretty quiet here in the city, and so, yeah, we're just happy he's OK. It could have been a lot worse."
