Montreal Canadiens forward Nicolas Deslauriers is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on a facial fracture, the team announced Tuesday.
Deslauriers suffered the injury in Monday's preseason tilt against the New Jersey Devils in an altercation with forward Brandon Baddock.
In 58 appearances with the Canadiens last season, Deslauriers recorded 10 goals and four assists.
The Canadiens acquired Deslauriers from the Buffalo Sabres last October in exchange for defenseman Zach Redmond.
