The Habs will be without their other breakout star from the 2007 draft for the near future.
The organization recently released that:
Max Pacioretty underwent an emergency appendicectomy tonight in Montreal – Out 3 to 4 weeks.

Obviously a 30 goal possession driving winger can’t be replaced internally but this will be an opportunity for Lars Eller and Alex Galchenyuk to step up into a larger scoring role.
