Montreal was a mistake. Juraj Slafkovský does not need to improve even in four years, he claims…
Slafkovský did not finish the game on the ice of the New York Rangers in mid-January, the first information spoke of a three-month break. The club has now confirmed that the 19-year-old winger will not feature again this season.
Slafkovský injured his knee and had to undergo surgery. Besides him, Montreal will be without Alex Belzile and Sean Monahan until the end of the season. David Savard, Josh Anderson, Christian Dvorak, Cole Caufield, Kaiden Guhle and Arber Xhekaj completed the six.
In his first season in the NHL, the Slovak forward scored 10 points for 4 goals and 6 assists. “I hope now that this absence of his will not slow down his development. It will depend on what he does this summer. Fortunately, he is still very young. At this age it is usually possible to make up for lost time more quickly.” Canadian team coach Martin St-Louis told journaldemontreal.com.
