Canadiens Prospect Engstrom Out 4 Weeks with Upper-Body Injury

Montreal Canadiens prospect Adam Engstrom will be sidelined for at least four weeks with an upper-body injury sustained in a recent Laval Rocket game. The 22-year-old Swedish defenseman, who had 33 points in 40 AHL games and appeared in 11 NHL games this season, was considered the first call-up option for the Canadiens. His absence is a significant blow to the organization, especially given his strong performance and his pairing with David Reinbacher, which was the team's best.
