Montreal Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien announced Thursday that defenseman Jeff Petry will miss "the next few games" after being placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.

Petry didn't play in Tuesday's win over the Tampa Bay Lightning due to the ailment. There is no timeline for his return.

The 28-year-old has five goals and 11 assists, ranking third on the team in ice time, averaging 21:21.
