Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield didn’t return in Monday’s 2-1 shootout win against the Calgary Flames after sustaining an upper-body injury in the second period.
The Canadiens’ young star suffered the ailment in a collision with Trevor Lewis.
The referees didn’t assess a penalty on the play.
Following the game, head coach Martin St. Louis didn’t have any update on Caufield’s status and said he would be re-evaluated Tuesday.
Caufield has scored 16 goals and 25 points through 27 games this season. He leads Montreal in goals and ranks second in points behind Nick Suzuki.
