Injured at the end of the last game, the Montreal Canadiens' young rookie Juraj Slafkovsky would have received some bad news.

According to Dr. Harjas Grewa, who has analyzed the sequence repeatedly, the young Slovakian's season could be over.

See his explanation:

"I hope that Juraj Slafkovsky does not suffer a fractured kneecap, which would force him to miss several months of activity and end his season. I don't really see any other option depending on the sequence, but it's still possible that it's a minor fall and he's not injured too seriously."

- Dr. Harjas Grewa

In 39 games this season, the 18-year-old winger has recorded 10 points, including four goals.

More details will follow.
