After leaving the game early last night, Max Pacioretty has returned to Montreal to get medical attention for a lower-body injury.
Canadiens announced today that Victor Mete (hand injury) and Max Pacioretty (lower-body injury) will return to Montreal this afternoon. They will undergo further evaluations by the Club’s medical group.

Pacioretty was in distress after an awkward fall in the second period, and missed the remainder of the frame. He tried to play a shift in the third, but was clearly struggling to skate, and left for the dressing room with several minutes to go.
The Habs will also be without Victor Mete, who left with a hand injury. Both will be evaluated by team physicians in Montreal today, and will therefore miss the game versus the Boston Bruins this afternoon.
