Lucas Lessio: Out 2-3 weeks

Lessio (knee) underwent an MRI on Thursday and it's been determined that he will miss 2-to-3 weeks, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Lessio debuted with the Canadiens on Tuesday, but the 23-year-old forward sustained a knee injury in the contest upon getting hit by Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas. It's unlikely that many eyes were on Lessio in the fantasy realm since the gritty forward is in the developing stages of his NHL career, but this hurts the Habs since the team traded for him in mid-December. By the time he's ready to return, there could be less than a month and a half left on the regular-season schedule.
