Montreal Canadiens forward Joel Armia will miss six-to-eight weeks with a right knee injury he suffered during Tuesday's tilt with the New York Rangers, the team announced Thursday.
Armia has tallied three goals and four assists in 15 games during his first season in Montreal.
The 25-year-old Finnish winger was traded from the Winnipeg Jets to Montreal this offseason along with goaltender Steve Mason, a 2019 seventh-round pick, and a 2020 fourth-round pick for prospect Simon Bourque.
