Even More Bad News For Juraj Slafkovsky

One of the hot topics surrounding the Montreal Canadiens is the possible suspension of Juraj Slafkovsky for his backdoor tackle on Matt Luff yesterday.

While he will have a hearing soon for his action with the NHL's Department of Player Safety, there is some very bad news that could influence the sanction against him.

The Wings announced that Luff will miss 10 to 12 weeks with a wrist injury from the bad fall against the boards. He will even have to undergo surgery on Thursday for the injury.

Let's just say that the injury verdict could possibly weigh heavily against the Slovak's move. After the suspension of Josh Anderson for another game, the Tricolore will most likely lose the services of a second forward in a short period of time.

To be continued.
