Galchenyuk out at least 1 game after re-aggravating knee injury

Montreal Canadiens center Alex Galchenyuk will miss Tuesday's game against Calgary after re-aggravating a knee injury that sidelined him for 18 games earlier this season, head coach Michel Therrien announced.

It does not appear to be as serious this time around, however.

Galchenyuk recorded two goals and two assists in five games since returning from the injury, including a three-point performance in a win over New Jersey on Jan. 20.

Montreal is set to play only one game between Tuesday and the All-Star Game, meaning it's possible Galchenyuk could be shut down until after the impending break.
